Which is worse:

Not Getting what you wish for or getting it and realizing it isnt enough?

I think getting it and realizing it isnt enough is BETTER than not getting it at all, simpy because you got it, and now that you have it, you now have something more, something better to strive for

Getting it and realizing it isn't enough is worse.

If you don't get it, you still have that hope that someday you will. If you realize that it's just a disappointment after all, there's no hope except that maybe you'll find something better. But it will always leave that scar and it will teach you not to hope so much about things, because you won't want to be let down like that ever again.

i agree

In my own words, I think that getting something and realising that it isn't enough is better, because you have something at the very least, when you had none to start with.

edit: I'd rather get $20 as a gift for something that costs $50 dollars and earn the rest than having to earn it all.

So not getting what you wish for is worse imo

I guess it all depends on the situation (seriously, what doesn't?), but in genaeral I would believe that not getting it at all would be better, because you realize that your first goal sucked and you need a new, better, bigger goal to achieve, and it usually keeps going and going and going, and you would have been happier having your first little goal.

getting it's worse
i have a tendency to kill everything i touch
in my experience usually what I wish for when it comes true turns out to be horrible and you cant fix some stuff
