a lil' bit of everythin'

George Bernard Shaw once wrote, “ There are two tragedies in life, one is to lose your hearts desire and the other is to gain it.”

Is it true? Do you really think gaining your hearts desire is a tragedy. For most of us the answer would be a no. But there would still be a small percentage of us who would whole heartedly agree with what the man said. Gaining our hearts desire is indeed a tragic experience. For nothing is permanent in this world. Things that we gain today are the things that we lose tomorrow. Every breath of air we inhale is exhaled the next moment… just like everything else in life. Nothing is permanent and certainly there is no such thing that we can hold on to forever barring perhaps memories. Therefore when Shaw mentioned two tragedies he actually spoke of one thing. Because we can only lose our hearts desire if we had gained it earlier and even though we had gotten momentary pleasure when we had gained it, it all culminated in a tragedy when the time came for us to let go.
