But I do believe that it's tragic only if she feels it to be so.

I grew up with a kid that recently paralyzed himself by jumping into a pool while not entirely sober. I think the speculation is that he hit his head, started floating, and then his even-drunker friends hurt him when they tried to save him.

He doesn't put fault or blame on anyone but himself, and realizes that he has to deal with what happened. He has a hard time understanding people that weren't responsible for the actions that put them in disparaging situations, such as this young woman.

"Life is unfair," is sometimes a bit hard to comprehend.
