expectations ... !!!

I am sure this one word written above triggers your brain for once.Its because we all are humans we have expectations from ourselves, from things, from people..!!We say or we don't say but yes there are expectations.Some are fulfilled and some are not, some inspire us to take the next step forward and some which don't work out break us down sometimes..

Today when i was going though the updates on facebook I came across one such update which was "Never expect from anyone they will always let you down someday" and for a second i said to myself yes true indeed , its because our expectations don't end in fact our expectations go on increasing day by day the more the time passes the more we expect one after the other they keep on incrementing in a never ending loop as our mind is a real greedy animal.And then yes i was wondering about what i expect from people around me and what people expect me to do and so on ...!! This one thought took me to all d people who let me down or whom i had let down. 

And when all this was going on in my mind i come across another statement "I am proud of myself that i was worthy your expectations..!!" And another chill went through my veins and I went back , trying to recall all the thoughts that came to my mind when I had read that we should not expect and that's when i suddenly realised that we normally expect from people whom we think will complete our expectations ,for an eg my expectation from my best friend and a class mate will never be the same because I know that both fall in different categories. But at times what we all fail to understand is what the other person expects from us and thus some times even expression of expectation is very necessary as there is a possibility that the other person may never know what you wanted out of them.

We say we don't say we all expect , even if we consider the most basic relation on earth a child and his parents.A child will expect the best of everything from his parents be it games, school bag, pocket money, toys, laptops, mobiles etc. etc. etc....And in return even parents expect children to be well behaved, get good results, respect them etc. .

So after much a do .. i seriously think expecting is not a crime 

(ps. expecting from wrong entities is one :P)
