Desire

Saw this on an MTA Poetry in Motion subway placard this morning.
Struck me as one of life's truisms.

If there is something to desire,
there will be something to regret.
If there is something to regret,
there will be something to recall.
If there is something to recall,
there was nothing to regret.
If there was nothing to regret,
there was nothing to desire.
