Heartbreak of Shaw

George bernard shaw once wrote "there ore two tragedies in life, one is to lose your hearts desire. The other is to gain it". He was clearly a man who experienced heartbreak a few times in his life.

However I have to say the I whole heatedly disagree with him. Gaining your hearts desire is not a tragedy as without it we are just misery and longing, which are both tragedies in themselves. Also the fact that gaining your hearts desire, if only for a short time, can make all the suffering, pain a grief in the world disappear, because for one moment it can make the world stop and just be magical, then it is far from tragedy. In fact you might say that it is in fact the opposite. This is because you are filled with this feeling, this emotion which we like to call love. Though no words that ever have been nor ever will be spoken can ever do it justice or descirbe its true glory. I  mean something of such graceful elegance mixed with its overwhelming good power can never be anything short of amazing, can it?

Now losing your hearts desire can be horrible indeed. The loss of of your hearts desire weather man or woman, old or young, black or white can cause such agony that you feel unable to breathe and that you will die of this excruciating thing which you are going through. In fact you would rather die so that it was all over rather than live like this without happiness or hope. So yes losing your hearts desire may cause a temporary injection of pain, much like that of tearing off a plaster, but isn't this better than having a hearts desire which you do not and will not ever have? because that is one of the true great tragedies of this world. Though without longing and without loss we are mere spoiled children, who are as resentful as they are despised.

So I say give me heartbreak, because the torture of never having is far worse than the pain of losing. You should remember the good times where you sang and danced in the park just for an excuse to be close to each other, not caring who saw or what they thought of you for doing so. Because, I'm not sure about you, but I'd give a lot for that moment or even just the memory of it, just once.
