Who is to blame when you hold high hopes? Whose fault is it when your expectations get slammed right back at you? Hope does give us a reason to look forward to something. It gives us the motivation to strive to achieve our goals but it is crucial to realize that there should be a reasonable amount of hope that is put into something such that, if in the event it fails, you still will be able to recover with minimal impact. The best approach to life is to take things neutral, take a back seat at times and just live your life the way you want to. Stop being restricted by conventional thoughts of society and stop settling for something just because you feel is what society expects you to do. It is not necessary to give in to society's expectations in order for you to feel you have lived a fruitful life. Your life is for you to dictate. If going against societal norms is necessary for you to achieve what makes you satisfied, go ahead with it. Never compromise on your believes and values. Never blame anyone for not meeting your expectations when in the first place it is you who created those very expectations. When your expectations are kept minimal, there is no reason for grudges or hatred to be harboured. Key is to minimize and not eliminate. Keeping things within a balanced radar is crucial.
