society....the essentials of personal tragedy

Has it ever crossed your mind that  the essential base of all social order is a tragedy. Think about it.  In Western culture.......the hero/villian equations which were lived on a daily basis during the bulk of the last century.......and for certain......a part of daily life in all centuries theretofore.....still continue in practice through war, romance, and natural disasters.
Television mediums such as video games, movies, and simple newscasts constantly remind us of our need to vindicate life by heroism. Even the pursuit of spiritualism from Buddhist form to Wicca popularizes itself in terms of the "heroic quest". For example.....young ....."Siddhartha was born to privelege and renounced all to find the truth of life.......eventually 'rising' from the 'ashes' to become the "awakened one" the first "Buddha". All pandering to the traditions which encompass far earlier forms of worship still exemplify the heroic quest. The ancient primal 'earth-mother' in Greek...Gaia....a composite of two older words 'ge' and thought to be pre-greek through the Sumerian word 'Ki'.......plus 'aia' which stems from Indo-European origins meaning 'grandmother' morph in context to tragic relevance for 'gaia' is the base god from which Greek society stems. She is merely a metaphor trying to explain a union between earth and the heavens but in her explanation follows a huge family tree of heroes and villians pandering to all that was seen as the 'tragedies' of life.
Thus from our earliest forms of self-recognition we self-accept these roles of hero/villian in a never ending self-manipulating social tragedy. Of all the creatures at the waterhole.......humans seem to be the only ones capable of creating scenarios of 'loss' with which they justify dominion over their fellows....both animal and other. Its small wonder the planet is in such a state of polluted conflict, eh ?
So on a personal level....would it not seem that the way of release is to understand personal need at the deepest of form. Without such an understanding how will we ever know when we are projecting 'loss scenarios' which seem to be 'gain scenarios' ? Most of humanity is a far cry from recognizing how important 'loss' is to to them..........and without 'loss' we cannot feel comfortable within the martyrdom of dominion we have socially created.
