Expectations Reduces Joy !

This blog was edited on a sheet of white paper. In general my blogs are born on my laptop. But this time my blogging mood collided with my laptop getting attacked by series of Trojans. Currently my laptop is under scan and I got an opportunity to use my golden parker. I love the way it slides over the paper. The purpose of this blog is to convince myself that I have understood the meaning of “expectation reduces joy”.
I always knew the meaning theoretically but off late from about three to four months I have got many occasions to learn it practically as well. The only thing a person gets seamlessly irrespective of expectations is mother’s love and rest all is just an illusion. I have always been expecting things from people, in specific from people who are close to me. I usually have ended up disappointing myself. Things that I expect sound very silly and sometimes funny as well. As people grow old they are not believed to expect much, which I have seldom implemented. My level of expectation is still the same as when I was a small kid.
When I used to fall sick I wanted my mother to be by my side. Anytime I opened my eyes and dint find her I used to shout at the top of my voice. She used to take care of me very much. Now when she is thousands of kilometers away I expect the same. My cousin and I were the best pals and did everything together. We played together, studied together, fought together, and wore similar clothes, hanged out together. After this I started expecting similar things from the rest of my friends as well. This is the reason some times my friends hurt me with their small acts without their knowledge.
I feel the world is filled with good people and as long as I love everybody people love me back the same way. This basic idea is itself wrong. People have their own way of expressing love and some don’t find the necessity to express it and some take it for granted. God has built every person with different ingredients; they think and act in a unique way. Every person has his own priorities and they abide by them. The best way to be happy in such environment is to expect nothing from people with whom I am linked with. In that way bad things never bother me and good things come as a surprise and bring more happiness.
I plan to implement this from this moment. Hopefully I will succeed in few weeks. It is never too late to change yourself for the good.
