Hope

There was once a time where my hope became expectations, expectations became reality, and everything in the world seems to go in my favour. I couldn't be more happier. life can't get any better but as i grew up, and several events transpired, I learned that life can punch you hard in the face and laugh at your swollen eyes. I was demoralized beyond imagination, but I've also learned to get up and give life a harder punch. hahaha. I know I can't win, but I won't go down without a fight. Not now.


Having hope, hoping for something to happen, as though they will absolutely happen, as if by the sheer power of our will alone it will happen. High hopes give birth to high expectations. In certain things,  high expectations can drive one to greater heights, working hard, full filling their expectations. However, expecting your expectations to come true by itself will only take you as far as your dream. Nowhere. When a high expectation comes crashing down, your feelings go down with it, as though theres nothing in the world left to do, feeling confused as well. Especially when the actual thing is so different from the expectation. Or when you put in a tremendous effort in it, expecting you'll reach your expectation. Healing the wounds from such a  fall my take a while, or it may even never heal. Always hope for the best, but have moderate expectations.
For the future is never certain. 


"A great Hope fell
You heard no noise
The Ruin was within
Oh cunning wreck that told no tale
And let no Witness in"


-Emily Dickinson(An American Poet)-


It is generally known, that he who expects much will be often disappointed, & yet disappointment seldom cures us of expectation, or has any effect other than that of producing a moral deboost (opposite of boost, i guess:P) or peevish exclamation. So should you or should you not expect highly of something? Thats for you to decide. 


“Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian”
