"Nothing hurts more than when your expectations are unfulfilled."
Expectations.
The word, as simple as it seems is all the more complicated.
It is a belief regarding your future which is more unlikely to happen. The unlikelyness of it to happen triggers another emotion i.e. disappointment. The disappointment in turn triggers all other kinds of emotions depending on its intensity.
Expectations of your parents. Expectations of your spouse/boy-girlfriend. Expectations of your friends. Expectations of Dada,Nana,Chacha etc., the list goes on. You spend your life trying to fulfill them. And when you fail, the whole world is against you. And you stand there alone pondering over what just happened. Why all of them are behaving so strangely now. Why are you the villain now.
And there is another kind of Expectation. The one which you want from others. You too have expectations from yourself. You too have expectations from your parents, your spouse etc. And when they remain unfulfilled, it creates a huge sense of hollowness in you. The feeling is the worst. You cry your eyes out. Your smile is lost in the broadway. You feel like you are vulnerable, You are week!
The question is, if so many kinds of troubles arise because of this then why not kill it. Why not just uproot the problem! But the hindrance is, you are a human. A normal human being who is very different from animals because of such emotions. Killing it is impossible. So why not control it. But here is another hindrance. If you could control it then you would be sitting on some Himalaya mountain by now, isn't it? You would be a saint who has won over all his emotions.
So what the heck is the solution now?!
Being indifferent.
But ain't Indifference as tough as the above two. It is tough. But not as tough.
"Ignorance is bliss" - Thomas Gray.
The quote says, Be ignorant. What you don't know won't hurt you. And how you wouldn't know? When you ignore.
Ignore the bubble. Ignore what others expect of you. Ignore what you expect from others.
And boom!
I can see a smile. :-)
