You do not get what you want,
and you do not want what you get,
so never get to want,
and never want to get.

I think many won't agree with this,especially the last line in particular.What I meant was 'never be ambitious'.I reflected Buddhism in that,as Buddha has said ' He is joyous who is desireless'.

Okay, fine. But buddha cannot be Buddhist. Otherwise, there is, for example, compassion and veneration. Those are desires that can have no place in Nirvana.

Right,Nirvana marks the end of it all.
