Expectations: A part of Life, A Cycle.

A person I knew from a recent past quoted:

"Do not expect others to treat you the way you treat them"

It hit me; right on the face. It was true, it makes so much sense. I had to reflect and realized that I am seeing myself in that statement. 

We often hear people say these words, but does it matter? Is it bad to expect? Did we care at all? Answer to all is NO. It's doesn't matter to us that we expect. It's not bad to expect. And we don't care at all when people say this and we still expect. 

I do not see something wrong with that. We are humans. It's but natural for us to expect something in return when we exert effort, spent much of our time, used our resources. 

However, things gets worst when we let our thoughts and emotions control us. When these expectations becomes far more important than what it should be in the first place. But we still chooses to get hurt and be hurt. And then we move forward and learn. 

But this is a cycle. You'll go through the same stages "UNLESS YOU DO NOT CARE AT ALL!"
