On tragedy and heroism,

To act is to encounter resistance. To encounter resistance is to suffer.

To overpower resistance individually is heroism. To overpower resistance collectively is progress. Collective progression requires heroic leaders, hence the glory of heroism.

To succumb to resistance individually is inevitable, however to struggle against resistance individually is to aide the collective struggle to progress. Collective progression requires individual struggle, hence the beauty of tragedy.
