Grief/tragedy/sympathy industry

An industry that pretends to be on your side, rooting for you instead of the events that make the industry possible (storms, crime, death, accidents, bad news).

The grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is a business, not a friend.

Tragedy

The opposite of strategy is not the absence of strategy, rather it is tragedy such that ways are found of using available means to achieve undesirable ends. People use what they have to get what they don’t want or arrive where they don’t want to be or shape a future they didn’t want. When all the available means necessary to accomplish something good are used to accomplish something bad, this is tragic, not strategic.

That’s not a strategy, it’s a tragedy.

grief tragedy sympathy hope industry

An industry that loves to tell people who their heroes are/should be.

Thanks to the grief tragedy sympathy hope industry, the aviation museum that always had a name good enough for the residents of the city that went there had to change it's name to honor a guy they were told was their hero, rather than anybody asking them who their personal heroes were. Perhaps their personal heroes were a family member or someone from closer to home than Texas, but since nobody asked them, they were forced to adopt a guy they were told was their hero as their personal hero, without any room for anyone else (since many of them thought the name of the museum was good enough as it was, without being forced to change, and it was going to get changed to a preselected name chosen by the "new guard" instead of by the residents).
