The emotional force of watching a tragedy, I think, comes from the internal struggle between “I don’t want this bad ending” and “but it’s inevitable.” Rehearsing that losing fight against the inevitable in order to learn to accept it.

Any inevitability you thoroughly accept with a light heart, is not something you need to process through tragedy.

This is really bizarre to read in the context of that thread. “Tragedy” has a rich and specific meaning here that isn’t the conventional “thing that is really horrible and sad”.
