Expectations in life…

Hello all, its been quite sometime since I wrote something, so here I am…with something that has been bothering me for a long time…expectations in life…be it relationships, work, society, children…home etc., one never seizes to have expectations…though we frequently mouth that we have zero or no expectations whatsoever…we really do not mean it!!! I most of the time don’t mean it…its strange, the more I say I have no expectation, the more I have them…a strange kinda catch 22 situation…this just leaves me bewildered…and a bit guilty too…is having expectations in life just plain humane…or is it selfishness that creates expectations….

There are days that I think…I should give up all this and be detached from all worldly expectations…then I think then I probably should’ve been a saint…which I am not…this means that I can just be a mere mortal with all my flaws…and keep on expecting things and hope that at least some of them will be fulfilled… I guess the optimist in me has this constant fight with the pessimist in me… or this is the case of the entire human race…. and I am not alone in this!!! Whatever may be the case…I know that I cannot give up the expectations and the aspirations in life…without a good fight!!!
