Expectations. The reason behind every sad moment.

 

Expectations make life miserable. People expect something from you. And you do not fulfill that expectation. Nevermind, whether it was intentional or not. The damage is done. Sometimes this results in anger, sometimes in gloom. Sometimes it gives rise to a series of explainations, sometimes plain indifference.

When you know people are expecting something from you, but you are not able to fulfill that something; this is when it hurts the most.

 

Sometimes I feel, can we humans not get rid of just this one aspect of life? Can we not stop expecting kindness from others. Can we not stop expecting love from others. Can we not stop expecting to always get what we want, for things to always happen as we want?? And instead, just give all that we were expecting? Coz maybe if we give what we are expecting, we would inevitably get what we wanted.

 

My resolve from today onwards.... Just be what you want other to be. Behave as you want others to behave. A simple lesson taught in school, but neglected throughout life. So live a life that other people would want to live. Content and happy. No baggages. No regret. No guilt. No expectations.
