Expectations:

Posted on at


The imaginary line that holds you back, its the strings we are bounded by, the shackles we are held by. No matter what we can't escape it. As we are born into this world we are already surrounded by the web of relations, that first touch of a mother: the emotion that can't be measured, carries hopes and aspirations of the newborn's future. Growing up; each action performed instantly dwells a relative expectation in one's mind. Parents, siblings, every blood relation even friends, every person you interact with even the newspaper boy or the gatekeeper you pass by has some sort of expectation towards you. For so, you smile towards a person every morning or wave at someone every day he would expect the same daily. The mere concept of keeping no expectations is impossible. How would you not expect something in return? The religious concept of rights towards parents, children, wives, husbands, neighbours etc relies on giving back what you recieve throughout. We are raised in a way that our religion and society bounds us to give back what we get. Taking care of our parents in elderly age, raising kids with good behaviour, giving charity to the poor, feeding the hungry are all our moral duties. Expectations are there they can't be set back. They can't be stripped away. They can't be broken apart. It stays, it dwells, it's anchored.
