Do Now [October 19,2007]

What tragedies have you experienced? Do you have any tragic flaws or know of someone who has?
One of the tragedies that I have experienced was when my grandmother passed away. I understand everyone has to go when their time is up and I had accepted that. However after her death, the family started fighting with each other and started breaking up. We were all so close when she was alive and we'd go to each other's homes and just bond as a family. However nowadays most of us don't speak to one another and are are petty much done with each other. Sometimes I wish things would go back to those days where we all spent our weekends in my grandma's house avoiding all the problems awaiting us back at home.

After a hard brainstorming session, I figured my tragic flaw is that I go out of my way to make other people others and usually forget about myself. Most of the time I go and do things for others that I know would make them happy and often forget about the things that make me happy. If I don't get anything in return I am A-ok with that. When I finally put myself first, I feel I am being perceived as selfish. So I guess making people happy is my tragic flaw.
