Life is Complicated

“The lesson to be learned from this incredibly told human tragedy is that in reality people are not winning or losing so much as surviving while trying to “get it right” based on what their past taught them and how they feel about their own lives through the lens of their collective cultural molds. To be honest I am surprised that this sort of story doesn’t get told more often; or maybe it does but it is not ever framed in such a way that leaves space for the listener to go away feeling confused and conflicted because they sense all sorts of injuries and injustice occurring but not in the usual simplistic and linear modalities that we have gotten used to.
To me it seems to point to the old saying that “All is fair in Love and War” which of course is meant to mean that nothing is truly fair and that no person is completely a hero or a villain entirely. I think it says something about our culture that we have such a ingrained understanding of a phrase that means the opposite of what is written and yet we still all keep repeating it without actually truly explaining what this means.
It’s a rare occurrence where you find such a moral-less event that gets all of us hoping for the most moral of endings and yet what we do eventually learn is that it continues to be a disturbing mess of good vs bad acts and the person who is left at the end is responsible for the telling and framing of the tragedy but also allows the world to further scrutinize his actions by allowing access to the written and spoken words of the deceased in a way he is unable to control. There is a ongoing sense of no-win scenario here that is both incredibly important to understand so others may be able to relate or avoid repeating and also creates an opportunity to analyze in depth the deep seated cultural and emotional pathologies present in our society which we desperately need right now. I don’t think anyone can listen to this and not connect with at least one of the characters involved if not all of them.
Adding Dr. Ramani to the conversation is without a doubt one of the most cognizant ways to defuse and clarify the many many issues that this podcast touches on. It is without a doubt a fantastic way to tell a sad truth about ourselves and also a touchstone for how to address future tragedies without sensationalizing them or sorting them up into tidy piles of good or evil. It simply confronts our struggles head-on and encourages all of us to think critically and empathize about the lives of others, their struggles, and our own unquestioned wants and fears that drive us throughout our lives. Hopefully this podcast will inspire others to reflect deeply on our truths and perhaps work on redirecting the parts that cause us to become less well adjusted. What a fascinating podcast.”
