Tragedies..

George Bernard Shaw once wrote

There are two tragedies in life

One is to lose your heart’s desire

The other is to gain it

Clearly Shaw had his heart broken once or twice

Tragedies happen

What are you gonna do?

Give up? Quit?

No

I realize now that when your heart breaks

You gotta fight like hell to make sure you’re still alive

Because you are

And that pain you feel

Its life

The confusion and fear

That’s there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better

And sometimes is worth fighting for

Shaw was right

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 simplest things like friendship, family and love

The things we probably already had.....
