We all have expectations. Some of our expectations are cultural I suspect and others are formulated for many various reasons. The fact remains we still “expect” things. This lends itself to disappointment. When something or someone fails to fulfill our expectations we are frustrated, confused and often angry. Are we supposed to lower our expectations of others or ourselves? I think expectations are important if they are balanced with reality. That’s the hard part. My reality is obviously not that of others. I have been called a pessimist. I would like to think that I am pessimistically real. I try hard not to live in a world of fantasy and fairytales. Dreaming is fruitful and it helps us to aspire to greater things. I do however believe it must be balanced with a large dose of reality.
