How can we live a life without expectations? Are we not living in a society whose fabric is cemented by expectations. Be it parents, friends, or siblings: each has their wishlists or the way they want us to be for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bhagwad Gita says expectations are the root cause of our misery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And stoic philosopher Epictetus talks about things in control and not in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trench of expectations is too deep, and one becomes acetic or a misfit, depending on whose side you gauge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Living in a society like a herd, we fall into the trench of never-ending expectations. We also call it responsibility or karma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What can we do? If we are part of this society, we should give our best and help in whatever ways our loved ones. But, it should not come at price of our happiness and life principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
