Tragic sense of life

"Tragic Sense of Life" refers to a philosophical outlook, particularly associated with Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno, emphasizing the inherent struggles and suffering in human existence. It suggests that life is marked by conflict between our desire for immortality and the reality of mortality. This awareness of life's tragic nature prompts deeper reflection on meaning, individuality, and the human spirit's resilience. Rather than offering despair, it encourages an appreciation for life’s fleeting moments and an acceptance of its uncertainties, inviting individuals to find purpose despite the inevitability of loss and suffering.
