What do you mean by the word 'Expectation'? how we take this fair or unjustified and should we have expectations from others?

Ariesj, A positive energy charged expectation in our ability to fully embrace a confident self-belief in our creative power to produce and weave thought into conceptions that are productive to whatever we are choosing to desire. This is a very good expectation to have. Expectation should only be an internal sense of knowing of that which we think and feel about the flow of our desire and what it intends to manifest into our physical experience.

Expectation usually creates anticipation for something that has not yet entered our personal space of creative existence, if it is a balanced anticipation, that is rooted in a patient, joyful eagerness towards, that of which, we confidently know is coming, then we will know peace. Expectation that is focused on how we think others should conduct themselves to make our self-creations possible, will only bring abject sinking feelings of sadness. We only posses the potential to control our state of thinking and emotional sense of well-being.

We do not possess the power to control the thinking patterns of another individual. When we induce a strong expectation of how something should be done, and someone comes along and does it in a completely different way, it can render one into a state of mayhem. This will cause one and the other to conflict, because both have equally good ideas and expectations of how these concepts should be implemented, consequently, both will struggle to reach a conclusion on who is right.

Many try to exert their creative power over circumstances, that others have created, and those of whom are still fuelling their creation with thought and emotional energy. We can however share our views of any expectations that we hold, in the hope that those who are of similar thinking will gel well with our concepts or we with theirs; depending of course, on what proves to be more productive. Our expectations should be flexible and be willing to change with a forever changing internal and external environment.It is only when we tenaciously tighten our grip to preserve our expectations that we enter a place of constant suffering struggle.

Naturally, there has to be a fundamental expectation of respect and it is only when we encounter those who can match our expectation of how we would like to be treated, that we are willing to open and share a part of our lives with these new encounters. It is about allowing people the freedom to fully express their creation of themselves. How they choose to act should not effect our own sense of well being In fact our well being is determinant by your ability to think in a way that elevates us into a joyful experience.

I have often seen many who live in long-lasting unproductive relationships try to mould each other into what the other expects. It maybe that the woman is fed up with her husband slapping his lips when he eats or hearing a phrase that he always uses. There are many irritable habits, that we all have, that become more amplified in a relationship.

We can either allow these habits to provoke us into negative feeling states, where we are always reacting or we can cultivate new perceptions where we see these habits as a beautiful part of the person that we are trying to love even more. Always allow people to be whoever they are, with all their quirks, while remembering that they too, have to put up with us. Bless you!

I think that you tend to have expectations from people that mean something to you and that you want to see do well in their lives; students, children, brothers and sisters and so on. Whether it's fair or not to have them? Well, I think it's human nature and not an issue of fairness.

What I do think is unfair, though, is to constantly harp on someone for not living up to your expectations of them. I suffered from this a lot as a kid. I was bright, but didn't do well in school at all, particularly in math.My parents and teachers constantly told met hey had higher expectations for me.

Oh well! Turned out I have dyscalculia, so the forcing of their expectations on me wasn't really fair, given the circumstances. I find that it's better to praise people for what they ''do'' rather than harping on what they ''don't'', whether it meets your expectations or not.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
