Have you ever realized why we feel hurt
inside when people ignore us? Why you feel sad when no one stands for you? Why
we feel cheated when someone we love, someone we rely on, leaves us and holds
someone else's hand? Have you felt people use you? They use like a ladder to
climb the steps of success and once they reach where they want, they don't even
recognize you? They learn from you and are not even thankful to you?
The only answer to all the above
questions is "EXPECTATIONS"
It’s
good to say - don't expect from others, not to have any expectations from
people, but come on yaar, after all we are human beings and we do have
expectations from the people , we expect a bit from our near and dear ones. I
personally don't believe there is anyone in this world who doesn't even have a
little bit of expectation from others.
At least we all expect a good behaviour
from others, we expect a note of thanks when we do something for others, we
expect a polite behaviour from our colleagues whom you have helped when they
were struggling with their work, we expect our friends to help us, to listen to
us when are grumpy and gloomy. We expect our partner to hug us and say - "Everything
will be fine baby, I am always with you", We expect our parents to
understand the reason for our failure. We expect to be loved by our loved ones when we love them truly, we expect to get good
marks when we study a lot, we expect to get a promotion when we work hard in
office, We expect to look good when we buy new apparels, we expect to get a
seat in a crowded bus, we expect to be wished by all our friends on our
birthday. We expect to be praised when we dress up. We expect our favourite
celebrity to win dance competition in JHALAK DIKHLAJA or NACH BALIYE. We expect
whenever INDIA plays match with any country it should win the match.
In our
day to day life not even a single day passes by when we don't expect. We all
know there's a saying that there is no life without hope, the same way I feel
there is no life without expectation.....there is nothing wrong in
expecting...even if you don't expect intentionally....your subconscious mind
will have some kind of expectation for sure.....its humanly impossible to lead
a life without expectation...Expectation is commonly mistaken as benefit but
when we want INDIA to win the match, we do not have any personal
benefit….cricket players get paid for it. When we expect our favourite film
star to get the award we don’t get benefited from it either. Sometimes expectation is only a
pleasure, a satisfaction. But we should try to restrict our expectations with
only a few people and not expect from the entire world... :)
