EXPECTATIONS
From the time we are born, we are shadowed with expectations.....we are awaited and pushed to see when we can crawl, and then walk, eat on our own, soon expectations build to excel in studies, then higher studies with expectations to get a good job, once working an expectation to be settled, once married, to have children, and then expected to bring them up, and it never does end or does it?? What is ironic is that we all live led by expectations but none are there for how we are to die.....death is spontaneous, unpredictable and can take anyone by surprise.... but wouldn't it be wonderful if life held the same for us all? This is life as it is.....
If people expect from us, we expect from them too.. It is an innate human nature.. Expectations are like a double edged sword..If fulfilled they bring happiness and content but if not they have the potential to destroy anybody "to the core"..
ReplyDeleteIt is however impossible not to expect anything from anybody, that would make us as good as machines..still a way to be happy is by not expecting our expectations to be fulfilled all the time..
Yes Adil, my point too....whether expecting or not, we have too many expectations out of life yet none for death.....and i guess if anyone did, we would call them suicidal or plain crazy......
