" There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it"
This means that in life mostly all people want what they want and will get it. but after getting it, most of us take advantage of it. which makes it a tragedy because you beg so much for it and when you get it you use it maybe once or twice and will sometimes never touch it again.

"If you can't get rid of the skeleton i your closet, you'd best teach it to dance."
Everybody has a certain situation that may be overbearing them. That alone just means keep going. That skeleton or situation while lighten its weight on your back. The more you press on and keep yourself from holding in that specific topic the more you have in your 'closet'.

# data[].attributes.body
my interpretation of "love is friendship set on fire" is that love is much more complicated than friendship its on a different level and sometimes can be dangerous thus relating to "set on fire". When someone falls deeply in love they can sometimes be blinded by the love and can not see how their significant other is treating them, they do not see that their relationship is toxic. Then, all of this can lead up to someone getting hurt. Also, in friendships people do whatever they want with each other with no strings attached but, love is a more serious thing its supposed to be filled with trust from each side and you both are supposed to work as a team. That is how it goes back to love being much more advanced. On a more deeper note sadly what most people don't want to admit is that love can ruin friendships. Like in two of many ways when you date a friend and the relationship doesn't go as planned you end it and then the friends are lost forever. Also, being in love can affect your friends, how? well you will bail on your friends just to devote all your time to your significant other and then sadly everything comes to an end you guys breakup and you realize all your friends have left your side and you realize you are all alone.
