LifE iS nOt a beD of rOseS!!

A thought just came to my mind,

Is life better off without expectations??

Will it be more fun? More excitements? More surprises? More happiness?

Or perhaps more sudden sadness?

On the positive tone, no expectations might be good, I just feel carefree, come what may, I’m happy. In fact, happier because it is unexpected! My friend was really touched because I gave him a real-belated birthday cake, I mean, it was his 21st and all I gave was a slice of cake, belated some more, but I suppose because it was unexpected of me to do so (oh, am I that….mean? (thinking hard, reflecting, maybe I am)), he was surprised! And I am glad. Haha.

No expectations, I am thankful for anything that happens, so much easier to do so. No expectations about friends, no expectations about work. Less misery. Perhaps because it is two-ways, to expect something, is for me to do what I expect others to do for me too. I mean, that’s not how things are supposed to be, just like you are to expect no reward when you offer help. To expect good result, work hard!

But then again, you being good to others, doesn’t mean you’ll get the same treatment back, maybe better, maybe worse. You being studious, timely submissions, doesn’t equally mean good result.

Thus, living a life of unexpectedness, will be better.

I think there is much more to research on this interesting topic. Perhaps I should just study sociology.
