Expectations, 'sticky lizards' like a friend had called them, and rightly so...Come to think of it you are not totally in control of those..or are you?
Do you voluntarily drop your guards off and allow people access that you may even develop expectations of them? Or is that a more organic process, and i'm only making it sound way too sinister and organized. Am not sure. Either way its not a good thing!
But as much as we argue, do we ever stop having expectations? Am sure even if me and my mother have not spoken to each other for weeks she has the same expectations out of me, the last time we did! Friends, partners, parents, siblings...is anyone spared? Don't think so...
Then why is something that so naturally occurs to each one of us, such a restraint...I wish we were all free from any of this mental bondage!
I wish Eve had never eaten that apple!

Ha ha ha... Have I been through this feeling or what? No Ma'am, unfortunately we can only keep our friends, the wicked lizards at bay so much.
ReplyDeleteWhat we CAN do however is have an SOP, pre-thoughtover and pre-decided when life is still relatively 'unsticky'. So that the 'perfect' course of action is clear in sticky situations.
Whether or not we follow that course of action is, of course, another matter ;)
Keep walking buddy. Brush the dirt off those boots...
