Relationships are complicated because, in any relationship “expectations” is only quite normal. I mean, that’s what makes it a relationship…it is two ways…if it is one way then it’s kind of a monologue… Or, I don’t know. You engage in a moment with someone because you expect…you expect kindness, trust, sincerity and all of that…you expect that it’s safe and you can get things done together, or cherish the time together.
Expectations exist because time is crucial. If you give your time to someone, who you don’t expect to treat you right, then isn’t it only a waste of time? Not unless, you’re in it for the “life experience”. Besides, how can you take care of yourself and your time if you don’t demand, or at least, expect people to respect you? Isn’t that masochistic? Not unless you are so independent that you don’t really need people to respect you in order to feel your “self-worth”. Okay let’s set aside the “feeling” part of it. This is a “doing” world, if you don’t have people behaving properly , then how are you ever going to do anything great , or very least, productive? We are social animals... we need each other... we need the right people to interact with.
But the world is not always as any idealist would want it to be. It is full of lies, insecurities, backstabbing, manipulation, comparison, judgement, selfishness…and in some parts of the world- total cruelty.
Time is limited. You let go of what doesn’t work and move forward. To determine how long one should try overcoming a predicament is a grueling task. End of the day, you go back to God and ask your creator “Is this your will, God?”
Things are easier when you actually let go of what you “want” in life…Things are easier when your logical...Things are easier when you have faith…when you surrender to God’s will…that’s the easiest and most logical thing to do I suppose.
It is a “doing” world…it is a “living” world…where you simply live and do what you can …and do what is right… think Forrest Gump.
You see my thoughts are not well arranged. Just thinking out loud.
