Getting What You Want

A friend sent me this quote: 
""The only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting what you want". 

I modified it for her.
"WHEN YOU DON'T DESERVE SOMETHING, the only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting what you want".

In Tamil there is a saying "Mudavan kombu thenukku aasai paduvadu pola". It translates roughly as "a lame man wishing to get honey from a tree (how stupid it is, he will never get it)".

If the lame man doesnt deserve it and gets it, later the honey will think "what did I do to deserve this lame man and walk out." Getting something that you don't deserve creates more problems than it solves.
