Life is to stop expecting from others. As long as you are expecting anything from other people, be it a material or an emotion, you can not obtain peace & happiness. You will always stand expecting and the hope is not fulfilled, so you will be sad or angry or fearfull or jealous. It will haunt you and you may enter quarrel & conflict also. In this world, every body is standing before other with lots of expectation--your parents expect care & love, your friends want cooperation, colleagues want good behaviour, respect, childen wants love & gift etc many more and you are also expecting many thing from others. These expectation only causes all conflict and dissatisfaction.; but we go on lingering on it. If you do a good work you expect others to praise you, if you love someone you hope it will be reciprocated. And this lead to heaps of expectation and we live only with expectations......Stop expecting and you see you feel better even great and very free & happy. Free youself from all expectations. One may ask how I can do it; because even if I stop expecting, others are not going to stop it--they will expect and even demand from me love, duty, care, and all... I have to give them, so why should I stop expecting from them? Thus you can make Life only a Deal.... and this is making Life more and more complicated and conflicting even miserable. Once you can feel that Life is to undo expectation you are a free man! happy and graceful naturally.
