Tragedies Of Life

There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
--George Bernard Shaw

I was not able to completely comprehend the latter part of the quote until I heard the following interpretation.

As we strain to grasp the things we desire, the things we think will make our lives better - money, popularity, fame - we ignore what truly matters. The simple things like friendship, family, love. The things we probably already had.
--One Tree Hill [Episode 222]
