I have read I have been told
I have experienced
But still I have not learnt,
Is the core of all problems
Expectations
Wants, desires, wills
All come in a package
Called life and love
They don't sprout
Without a cause
Without a reason
They come with feelings
Of friendship
With kinship
And affection
They grow with
Bonds over time
Chats over coffee
Conversations
And occasions
In some instances
They nurture and foster
In others cases
They sabotage and kill
Relationships
Companionships
When you expect and don't get
You get frustration
When you get expect and get
It makes you want more
But
When you don't expect
You get fulfillment
Joy and happiness
If you can
I expect you to not expect.
Anything
Nothing from me
From anyone
Well-expressed. Unrealistic expectations leads us to unhappiness but it is tough not to expect, also. Even when we do not want to expect there is some sort of expectation in it. Its more like an oxymoron.
ReplyDeleteTrue sh@s, but more often than not, our expectations are not unrealistic, they may just be small things we expect people around us to do for us, but they have different priorities.

Hi SH, yes but is there life without expectations, nothing happened, was like in between busy routine things there are times when we stop and think and question life, one of those thoughts.

So true. Expectations are the root cause of all problems. Well written.
