18._ Tragedy

In this picture it seems to be entirely justified the reality of each human individual. If he is important and powerful respect to the mini-universe of which emerges, he is significant --although least and ephemeral-- respect to the great Universe that includes him and gives him reason of being, based on his goal: God.

Nevertheless, the "human ego" is excessive in his ambition: although he can become aware of that one his place in the universe, he is not deprived for that reason of a tragic feeling when he experiences frustrations, deficiencies, pains, sufferings and dissatisfactions, and mainly when considering the necessity of his own death, fundamental aspect of his human self-consciousness.

In this tragic sense he can consider himself a failed; a "failed project of God". (In the sense that the Spirit has created him projecting to arrive already at God in him, and manifestly has not obtained it). In compensation, his imaginative capacity allows him to project his anxieties of dominion, satisfaction and happiness like attributes of the same God, with which --foolishly-- he wanted to identify himself.

On the other hand, his ethical and aesthetic conscience raises unattainable goals to him, who serves to him as incentive to progress towards the good and the beauty that will be obtained finally in God, but that –maybe foolishly again-- generate in him a tragic feeling of fault when he considers his own deficiencies and transgressions.

Specially when taking conscience from the terrible suffering and injustices in the daily life and history, even believing in the action of the Spirit and trusting His final triumph, cannot avoid a feeling of misfortune and futility of the individual human existence, continuously sacrificed in her more intimate ambitions of happiness, in altars of the universal progress, last term for the sake of God.
