"Expections" is just another word found in "human dictionary".. yet, applicable "frequently/extensively" on a day-to-day basis. Each one of us expects or is expected of something. Question is - "which expectations are practical enough to be worked upon in our life?"
Won't say dat i've seen much of life..well, not yet. I might have to spend my entire life to know and talk about "life" as such //it's amazing dat a four-letters word can't be understood in even 40 years probably//. But, as of now, till this moment & till this age, whatever i've seen, one thing is for sure.. Expectations are born naturally for humans - can be from close ones, friends, family circle and can even be from strangers //dat might be little vague, but happens, will leave it to my audience to think upon :) // Well, atleast i try pouring out my thoughts & possibly emotions in these posts //am glad if some1 reads it, dis way i get to share things with ppl known/unkown (without my knowledge). B'coz sharing my thoughts haven't helped letting known-ppl much..close frenz hv gone apart n rest r used to knowing my whereabouts n hv nuthin much to do but listen... atleast i'hv got ppl who wud listen to me! LOL!!
Am being expected a LOT..dat's wht it seems to me.. A LOT! It was one of my early realization dat kiping everybody happy simultaneously isn't easy & while trying to do so, i wud alwaz be accused of failing on one or d other's expectations. So, best possible way out of dis is "try being helpful & supportive to others..yet, kip urself aloof..so close, yet so far" - chances of hurting others or being hurt gets minimized :) trust me! But, even while trying to minimize other's expectations..life does take mind-confusing turns & time does wheel itself putting oneself in such situations wherein own-conscience starts asking about what's right & what's wrong..whether to abide by other's expectations or to fulfill self-expectations..whether to leave behind those who has been the sole reason of our very existance & move on or to supress own desire-likings thus taking life as it comes..! Waayyyy tooooo confusing!!!!! Hmm, i do believe in one thing for sure..if i don't have answers for certain things rite nw n am not able to figure out the solution, will wait...until TIME helps me getting to a conclusion or a solution :)
Someone reading this post so far..mite be wondering dat all am saying n complaining is about "others' expectations from me", what about my expectations from others?? well, to clarify, am not complaining about being expected - rather happy dat am being looked upto in such a way..however, it's not an easy task..emotions is all attached with expectations & chances r quite high dat someone's heart mite be broken & ppl mite b hurt which can be beyond repair/mend. Coming to my own expectations - i try to be realistic & practical as far as possible trying to analyse if ppl r capable to fulfilling my expectations..rather, i try to kip myself aloof so dat i don't expect much or jus nothing, dis way if am nt being happy..well, am nt hurt either :) I DO have expectations from myself & the benchmark is so high dat it doesn't matter if others r cuming upto my expectations or to what extent they r able to..on the contrary, i shud be able to come upto my self-expectations set by me. It's a small world of my own..within the big world n few major human worlds comprising of family/frenz/society.
Dedicated to Eli..
Cheers!!
