Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry

A cynical industry where you hear the same kinds of stories and lines over and over to the point that it's a joke that isn't funny (the false hope and optimism sky is going to fall again tomorrow industry).

Person that survived storm- As long as nobody gets hurt, I don't care if I lose everything else.

Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry Reporter- That sounds convincing.

5 years later after recovering from loss of loved one the person gets to thinking and it hits them- As horrible as it makes me sound, too horrible to put on TV, though nothing will hit as hard as me losing a loved one or an animal, I really do miss that couch and TV, even if I got another one. It sounds inhuman of me, and yet deep down anyone else would miss their shit at times if they lost it, even if they didn't tell anyone that they did. If they didn't miss their shit, they wouldn't get a house to put it in, but if they did get a house and wouldn't miss their shit, they'd live in an empty house, since nothing would be sacred there. If people are being honest with themselves and true to life, they also miss material things even if they miss the living things more.

Tragedy

It's a type of soup

You know, the real tragedy is not just what happened to him but that we live in the world where you even have to ask whether or not he is the bad one.

time tragedy

Time Tragedy: He considered her unique outlook on life and affinity for him to be another one of those time tragedies because of the considerable difference in their ages.

Egyptian Tragedy

The act of fucking a charred orange covered in salt until it completely disintegrates. The orange has to be charred in order for it to be an Egyptian Tragedy, aswell as the orange, which has to be from a farmer in China named "Louis", it can be any Louis, as long as they farm oranges. You have to be in a state of melancholy in the act. The salt has to be from the Salzbergwerk in Berchtesgaden.

This criteria is mandatory
The orange has to be powdered and from China
And HAVE to be from someone named Louis
If the farmer isnt named Louis, this is not an Egyptian Tragedy

jimfarticle: Yo, i tried the Egyptian Tragedy challenge, and it was eye opening. It was unlike anything ive ever had before
marcos: what the fuck is that

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).
