Expectations

Give
birth to hope, then make an
Exit
silently…
Expectation is a very natural feeling. you may try hard but heart has a strong tendency to expect.
A huge smile may evolve from an expectation but generally expectations are something that gives you disappointment. You nourish your hopes delicately. you wait for something eagerly. But when you expect too much, either you get nothing or some more waiting, and it really...really feels bad.
I think it's a psychological feeling. You might have experienced that even 'Small' things received unexpectedly give immense pleasure and a 'Small' unfulfilled expectation gives disappointment.
But, sometimes, something pleasant happens unexpectedly. You must have seen this cute advertisement. Really, kuchh unexpected mile to achchha lagta hai...
I guess life would have been easier if we had no expectations ... but as humans, that can never be possible :-)
ReplyDeleteThe moment we get hurt...We start giving lecture to ourselves that we shouldn't expect anything from anyone...But, again....We expect...We get hurt...And the cycle goes on!
ReplyDeleteGood one Tarang! :)

If only when we first see a person or saw the speak, we would expect nothing, but that is not so.
ReplyDelete"Expectations" - the root cause for all complexities of life :)
ReplyDeleteWish we understood this and implemented too !

Interesting how expectations sometimes exit silently. I wonder why that is...but I do know it is true.

ReplyDeletehey that's a quite good expression especially in relevant to that advertisement..
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I agree to all your statements.
that's true. but there can be no exisitence without expectation. and thereby hangs the tale of hope and then silence.
ReplyDelete@ Madhavi: Thank you so much!:)
ReplyDelete@ Prema: :) Right...expectations give birth to hope as I have said in my post:)
Expect nothing and and every gift in life will be a welcome surprise. Mind you the advert silently said so much.
