There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. Don’t trap yourself with the desire of wanting. The paradox of getting what you want is that if we base our happiness on the expectation of great things, then achieving it removes the happiness. And you’re left empty and full of desire. That’s what desire truly is: it’s a trap. Humans are walking paradoxes; we want what we can’t have, and when we finally get what we’ve been craving, it’s never enough. Desire is suffering; it is a contract that you make with yourself that you will be unhappy until you get what you want. But some people might say that desire keeps you going, but isn’t it quite sad that you only consider yourself alive until you get what you want? You allow your unlimited desire to cloud your peace.
