The witty, brilliant, sophisticated Irish essayist & lecturer, Bernard Shaw, sums up the hopelessness of his own barren life & philosophy in the epigram:
"There are 2 tragedies in life. One is not to get your
heart's desire. The other is to get it."
Shaw is talking about the desire of the heart of the natural
man who does not know God.
He speaks truly when he says that, when such a man has got
his heart's desire, he finds it only disappointment, empty & unsatisfying.
That is why so many today, both old people & young
people, having won their heart's desires, commit suicide.

“No soul can be really at rest until it has given up all
dependence on everything else and has been forced to depend on the Lord alone.
As long as our expectation is from other things, nothing but disappointment
awaits us.” - Hannah Whitall Smith.
Rom 10:11 (TLB): “For the Scriptures tell us that no one who
believes in Christ will ever be disappointed."
