There are only two tragedies in life. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

Why getting what we want is tragedy? It’s God’s mercy.. For me, not getting what i want, is a tragedy too. There is always God’s wisdom behind the story in what He gives us or what he doesnt give. And sure he always wants best for us. 🙂

Haha, interesting. Actually it makes sense, if you get what you want, then you want something else. When you don’t, you always wish to obtain that thing. The human being is never satisfied.

Ammar…It indeed is..coming from a genius and witty person. 🙂
Shahrzad.. 🙂
Purple…yes, I think it makes a lot of sense and can be interpreted in few ways depending on ones experiences in life. 🙂
Farooq…I guess most of the people will prefer the second option 😀

Oh getting what you want and then getting over with it is a preferred choice for human minds 🙂

Getting what you want is a tragedy because you stop wanting it, therefore stop desiring it – thus killing off all the fun! 🙂

A relevent urdu verse …
sochta hoon na tum agar aaye,
kon phir dard aashna ho ga,
aur phir sochta hoon ghabra kar!
tum agar mil gaye tau kya hoga!
