Destiny has two ways of crushing us - by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.

Destiny has two ways of crushing us - by refusing our wishes

Summary

This quote suggests that destiny can bring about disappointment and hardship in two ways: firstly, by denying our desires and dreams, and secondly, by providing us with what we wished for only to find out it doesn't bring the happiness or fulfillment we expected. It reflects the idea that sometimes what we desire may not be what is best for us, highlighting the complexities and unpredictable nature of destiny. Ultimately, it highlights the fact that the paths destiny takes to shape our lives can be both challenging and surprising, regardless of whether our desires are fulfilled or not.

Of course, both major parties today seek to serve the national interest. They would do so in order to obtain the broadest base of support, if for no nobler reason.
