I don't purposely strive for anything in regards to my perspective, nor do I particularly consider my life tragic, thank you very much. Quite the opposite.
As I've said before, people often mistake my even-keel demeanor for "emotionless." I'm far from it. I experience emotional extremes as much as anybody. But I recognize them as temporary and am able to experience them rather than allowing them to control me.
Mind you, I'm using words like "recognize" and "allow" purely for convenience sake. It's hardly that conscious of a thing. I am not making some huge effort to suppress emotional responses or bottle anything. It's just the way my brain filters emotions naturally.
