Downfall

Most of the time when we blame us or others for something that went wrong, we are wrong. Amidst every equation there is an undefined and unsaid element that exists which we fondly know as "Expectation". Expectations are really like weed which slowly engulfs the plant that you have sown and nurtured for so long. We humans are hungry for love, care and attention but we sometimes forget to give space and time to others. We are undoubtedly selfish and that's where we suffer. Our expectations soar too high too soon and when they are not met, we feel saddened and disappointed. Sometimes we realize that we are wrong but we cannot convince ourselves of that and we start to blame others. We are so desperate to be understood that we forget to be understanding. Expectations are two ways and its important to keep it balanced. No two people are same and nor are their expectations. What you have ordered is not what the other person wants to eat. But no matter whatever we say, we do, our heart is always successful in strong arming our mind. It's a tough battle between heart and mind and the worst part is, its a lose-lose situation for us. We all have learned it the hard way that expectations cripple relationships but again and again we cannot stop it from soaring to fill the emptiness in our heart. Nobody is here to live up to your expectations and nor are you here to live up to anybody's expectations. I expect that I will be able to free myself from the harms of expectation, but again I am expecting.
