We all expect something or the other from someone or the other...and they do the same from us. A parent expects his child to excel in all spheres of life...a child expects his parents to understand his situation...a friend expects you to never hurts him/her...your love expects you to love him/her forever and ever...and so on. It wouldn't be wrong to say that at some point or the other expectations from the others hurt..whether intentionally or unintentionally..so what do we do then? Should we then stop expecting...and become monks and nuns? Or should we let these expectations hurt us time and again?
So many questions to be answered...
Ever tried a game called swap your roles...I know sounds weird that to solve this long questionnaire of expectations I suggest a game...but if you gotta trust me it is quite interesting and also very helpful. The game requires you to swap your role with person from whom you have expectations. Place yourself in his/her shoes and think if the same is expected of you. I know...I know you'd say what a lecture and silly thing this teen is trying to tell me but...life can be made simpler by altering your way of looking at situations.
What I know...
I read articles about students whose parents are constantly pressurizing them to get better grades...if they rank second in class not because they studied less but because someone else was better, their parents tend to look upon them as if they are sinners etc..Is this right? Each of us has our capability and we work accordingly and in this world people are better and worse than us..we should look upon both of them and then judge ourselves or others..This is one of the cause why most students write "I QUIT' on walls and opt the easier way out. Expectations need a thought..
Ek free advice to banti hai yaar: I know death is difficult but living life is even harder because life has challenges to face but death has only an end..LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST:):)
