Oh my God...........Expectations

The biggest and the most dangerous problem I think the world is facing and will face in the foreseeable future is not Global warming or pollution or kim jong un, it is EXPECTATION.

As per oxford dictionary expectation means a strong belief that something will happen or be the case. It is okay to have expectation or beliefs about our future and our life but the real problem exists when someone else expects something from us. Most of the cases we don’t give a damn f**k about others expectations on us but when it origins from people that we share bond or blood, it becomes real pain the a**.

These people whom we share bond or blood have a certain right on us. They may be parents, friends, teachers, boyfriend or girlfriend. They are by law expected to have some expectations but by gods grace these expectations do have no limits. As soon as one expectation is achieved or reached the next one pops out. So virtually this cycle never ends and unfortunately most of the human beings fall in this vicious circle of reaching up to the expectations people have on them.

What we should do then?

Well actually there is nothing we can do. No one asked them to raise expectations on us and obviously we need not prove anything to them. As long as we know our capacities and capabilities and our goal we need not do anything but to constantly strive towards achieving our goal. And again this so called goal should not origin from expectations of others.

Hell, each and everything in this world, is somehow interlinked with expectations. Even the most powerful man in the world, the worlds richest, the worlds most influential each and everyone’s life is based on the foundations of these expectations. Our very system of democracy is based on this. People make presidents and bring them down based on the fulfilment of their expectations.

Why expectations are dangerous?

 Because it makes sure that we live our life not for our sake but for the sake of others. For the simple reason of making them happy, by reaching their expectations what am “I” getting? Am I really happy doing those things? Are their expectations reasonable? Can I reach them without compromising my ideals, my thoughts, my attitude, my life?

These are the questions each and everyone of us should ask ourselves first. Because those people who have expectations say that they are having expectations on us so that we can reach them and be happy and successful in life. Well what if we can’t reach them?

The biggest reason behind suicides rests in the very basic fact of not able to reach expectations.

So finally, to all the people in this world and all other parallel universes, STOP EXPECTING FROM OTHERS and to the ones that are dying to reach the expectations, it is important to tell your fricking little minds that OUR EXPECTATIONS ON US is the only thing that matters.

Rest everyone and everything could go to hell or any equivalent country in this world.
