Why do you say "there are two tragedies in life: one is not getting what you want, and the other is getting what you don't want"?

This sentence reminds me of two sentences in Zhang Benshan's sketch at the Spring Festival party:

The first sentence: The biggest sorrow in life is that the money is still there, but it is gone.

The second sentence: the greater sorrow in life is that people are still there, but money is gone.

Although it is very different from what you said, the reason is the same. If you look at a question from a different standpoint, you will get different answers. You can also say that the biggest joke in life is that you got what you didn't want, but didn't get what you wanted.

It is not easy to define the difference between gain and loss. People are often the easiest to think that what they don't want is what they can't get, whether it's good or bad. Because they can't get it, they want it, so they feel beautiful. In fact, one day I suddenly looked back and realized that I had missed the best thing.
