People are worms, and even the God who created them is immensely bored with their antics.
It is only a step from boredom to disillusionment, which leads naturally to self-pity, which in turn ends in chaos.
Classical tragedy was the war between good and evil. We wanted evil to be defeated and good to be victorious. But the battle in modern tragedy is between good and good. And no matter which side wins, we'll still be heartbroken.
