Life Contains But Two Tragedies. One Is Not To Get Your Heart’s Desire; The Other Is To Get It

This meaningful quote Life contains but two tragedies: one is not to get your heart’s desire; the other is to get it” is found in the literature with the reference to two great personalities; Socrates and Jorge Burned Shaw, both want to make our lives from good to best. It is very important that an intelligent saying can be stated by different divine personalities.

According to this quote psychology of human desire is two-folded. The process to achieve a goal or desire can lead to unhappiness and maybe dissatisfaction. Yet, attaining an objective can produce an aftermath of uncertainty and lassitude and can be resulted in laziness and lethargy.  In this way, our desires, in the end, became unpleasant for us.

Desires work as a motivator and make it easier to achieve them. Desires can impel us toward positive, life-enhancing experiences.  Without any force, it will be difficult to use our full energies to achieve our aims and desires. Our desires can be positive or negative. If we have noble desires, these can create a positive change in ourselves and all around us.

Our desires, if the true ones are strong enough to impel us to do the meaningful efforts. If it is not so strong, then there can be half-heartedness there. In this way, chances of failure must be there. So, our real desires must have enough pressure on them, which requires having them.

Our desires can be of any kind; worldly or spiritual. Material things will never satisfy the desire; only a serene spirit and a detachment from outcomes will enable us to live peaceably beside the torrent that is our desire.

Another important thing with this reference is that the strategies we use to achieve our desires must be positive and legal. All legitimate steps must be taken in this way. If our desires became our habits then the results will not be desirable. A balanced approach will be required.

To take this quote in a positive sense, it will be more positive to have many desires with us. In our lives, we can have many different and meaningful desires. In this way after achieving one, we will start working on the other one or we can try to achieve more than one desire at a time. In this way, no feelings of hollowness and tragedy will be there. This type of lifestyle is the crux of a divine and positive life.
