"There are two tragedies in life, not getting what you want . . . and getting it."

I've finally realized that I am, perhaps all of us are, living in a Greek tragedy. We are raised high and then brought low by our own gifts, which also turn out to be our greatest faults.

Only in 'real' life the 'up and down process' plays out over and over and over again. Wearisome.

Reminds me of the final episode of the final season of "The Sopranos."

Yet, here we all are. We are left to play our assigned roles, inescapable.
