I think I've been thinking a lot of late on expectations...mine and others.
I think, of late, my journal has focused a great deal on this.
I think these three quotes nail it for me...
“Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian” Wholey
“Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyse your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.” Leo Buscaglia
“I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.” Frederick Perls
I think that short phone call just now, made my heart glow.
I think hearing that a long time gone lit friend my have cancer...again, makes me want to hug him, and just listen.
