Expectations ... Expectations

In the case of uncertainty, expectation is what is considered the most likely to happen. An expectation, which is a belief that is centred on the future, may or may not be realistic. A less advantageous result gives rise to the emotion of disappointment. If something happens that is not at all expected it is a surprise. An expectation about the behavior or performance of another person, expressed to that person, may have the nature of a strong request, or an order.

Now i firmly believe that expectations can be categorised in 3 ways:
1. You are having expectations from someone, without the other person's knowledge ( Most of
the time) lets say A is having expecations from B But B hasnt given any
commitment, or B is not aware of it.
2 . You are thinking on some lines of it but actually the other person has himself
offered you those expectations or made you feel it.Lets say B has himself told A
that this will be the thing or situtation or future.
3. Both the party is having expectations from each other and are aware of this else they both
are doing it without expressing it.A & B both are involved.
May be some other person can have different perspective to it but i think that in case...
  • If you are falling in first category then please grow up and speak.A should not burden or kill B. Let other person tell whether he/she would be able to fulfill them or not.And B if you are getting these vibes from A then better you react and tell A.Dont be a dumb guy.
  • If you are falling in second category then there can be two probabilities-
  • As A - Please dont feel bad if B is not doing what he has commited or told.If you really care about B then stay calm and give some time.May be it will work but if things are not changing then you try to build your dreams or anything for that matter.Why the hell you sulk, wait and lose on life/time, Why you gotta think about B or any damn person on earth.
  • As B - If you have genuinely given it a shot or moved yourself a bit then i m sure A will not utter a single word, In case you simply cant do it then start accepting it and comprehending same to A right now before A loses his patience , if you are still trying then express it with love and gesture, re-assure A but for God sake if you have realised that you are not worth it or you cannot do it then its your responsibilty to tell A clearly about things and let go A.
  • If you are lying in third category then congratulations you guys truly have homo-sapiens trait. You both have to make some ground rules and some limit to fulfill each others expectations else you both will lose the charm and company or vice-versa would love the company of eachother life long.
Now the fact - We all are looking for some one who just believe in doing and giving without expecting anything back in return which means Unconditional Love..Sounds really great but Can you be the one for somebody too ??????

Well not sure abt which category i fall in --- as it changes and should change with respect to the other person....

What I would say is -

People have and should have expectations. Expectations are signs of an active mind and love but what i hate about people is ----

they expect but will not acknowledge that they expect like for eg .. in marriages - grooms mother would say - we dont need anything .. we have all but deep inside her heart she would be expecting a lets say diamond necklace so that she can show off in society and if by chance the bride parents believe that it is true they dont want anything then the poor girl will have an interesting life ahead

thats just an example it can go on for ever ..

Personally i speak my mind out and also believe that other person is true to whatever she says but as of now i hv been in trouble many a times bcoz of this ( sometimes its been my family members who have done this )


in short i belive - its not a question of A or B or C what is reality is ---

All As , Bs , Cs in this world are alone and have their own survival at stake whatever they do for other person is not for the other person but to ensure their own survival for a minute more , a day more , a year more till they actually realise that it was all futile..
