Episode 264: The invisibility of loss

Once someone passes through tragedy, they are no longer the same
person, and their perception of reality has fundamentally
changed. There is no going back. And this means that there are
generally two classes of people: those who have passed through
tragedy, and those who haven't passed through tragedy yet. These
two groups basically live in two different worlds, in which many
features of reality are invisible to those in the second
category. I illustrate the psychological truth of this statement
with an example from "Harry Potter."
