I do not intend to hurt anyone by any chance from my thoughts.

High expectations can always lower you down. Why do we even expect anything? Not only humans but animals also have expectations. What is expectation?

Why do we expect in the first place?

It is because of what we are. We expect to be loved by everyone. Even if the love they show is fake. We expect to satisfy our ego. We expect to get away from present.

Imagination also plays a very important role in creating expectation in oneself.

We imagine stuff because it gives us pleasure. It allow us to think things which may not be possible in the real world. It let us be in a room with stuff we want.. Which eventually leads to expectation.. We want all the things that we imagine and hence we start to expect things from our lives.

Expecting things can be depressing also. For example a parent expects that their child will be the happiest person on earth. There is no bad in thinking so.. But only the child knows his or her capabilities and when they fail to meet their parent 's expectation.. Neither parents nor the child stays happy.. On top of that child is burdened with stress and anxiety which can cause serious health problems.

Let us have another example. In a relationship one expect the same amount of love from the other. But it maybe possible the later is not as expressive as the former one. Which again may lead to disappointment. Expectations can be from oneself, expecting from others about oneself or expecting from other about themselves.

So, should we stop expecting?

We should not stop expecting, we can't but expectations a should be done in right place, from right person and in the right time. How do we get to know if everything is "right"? That of course. We lessen from the greatest master ever TIME.. Time will teach everyone, everything.. You just need to be patient.
