A lot of times in life we see that things don't turn out how we expect them to.
We are always told not to expect. Agreed. But have you realized this, even while not expecting we are surely expecting somewhere.
It is human nature to do things out of love, want or care and yet desire to get all of it in return. What's wrong in that I wonder. Hadn't newton too stated: to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction ? Atleast there should be.
But again we forget that without that reaction, our deeds are followed by heartbreaks, regrets, and anger.
So did I not deserve something in exchange?
Am I not good enough to be at the receiving end for once?
Or ain't I just not permitted to wish for the "give and take"?
Its inevitable for these questions to arise.
However hard you try to block them out or you fight with yourself to let them go.
You make it simple and vow not to repeat the history.
How long does it work? All it takes is a moment to make you forget the promises you made to yourself when you were deprived of what you craved for.
So let's just say, I have not found a solution to this.
It is one vicious cycle with "expectations" at its centre.
The only key out here is endurance.
You bear it, and you learn from it.
Wait, learning out here doesn't mean you don't repeat your mistakes.
You just grow stronger, stronger to endure some more.

Very true!!
ReplyDeleteLove (for lack of a better word) in it's wholesomeness, purity and numbing force, crosses barriers, many might not dare to jump over, or even brave a curious look. Pangs, ignore norms of expectations and stealthily forge along the stairway of conviction. They say water finds it's level, external levellers notwithstanding. Spirit travels farther and sharper than viscous movement. (Pardon ,if this sounds like a mini-blog!Did I mention spirit also gets carried away?!:d) A write-up,as before, after my own heart! ;) So then, take care!.. Oh wait, I need'nt say that...u already do! :)
