On Letting Down

It is peculiar how we have our expectations towards others even if we have just met or known them for their entire life. Is it even rational to expect?

Anticipation may lead to disappointment. The degree how down one gets when one’s expectations are not met varies. But wait; is it just to feel upset? In the first place they are not even obligated to do this or that since no one told you to expect anyway! Then again, you still expect someone to do this and that based on first impressions or what you heard about them. However, when you expect someone to behave a certain way because you have known that person for a long period of time, things get bizarre.

Do you expect too much because you thought or felt you knew?

When will I learn? People are people. Sadly, as I wake up each morning expecting something… when in reality I should not really be expecting at all.
