EXPECTATIONS, EXACTLY WHAT ARE THEY?

As the year draws to a close, one thing that still remains permanent is ‘loneliness’. After a month or so on December 31, 2005 as the clock would tick 12.00 a.m., new resolutions would be made not knowing whether they would survive the year ahead.

The year going by has been a learning experience, which did not teach one but many lessons to lead life. Some lived it dangerously. Some lived it gracefully. And some are still cursing the atrocities they inflicted on their inner conscience. So many lives must have entered into a relationship but must have realised they were meaningless. Expectations must have been high. But, they got crushed beneath feet’s of egoistic souls and hungry grabbers.

The main motive behind writing this entirely confusing piece is still not known. But, later as the browsing continues maybe it would seem like something which speaks about expectations. There are some expectations that are sky high. And some knee high. But, they still remain the same. The eyes are hungry to see that expectation translate into reality. So what exactly are expectations? Are they the dreams, we dream of. Are expectations the real motto of life? Or are they just bits and pieces of life needed to be put together? Questions are many, which solicit zero replies.

Expectations have been talked, discussed and researched about. But, no solid documented proof discovers a closer link between what is and what was. While scanning http://www.quoteland.com, quotes would be available on expectations. Still it continues to be confusion.

Married women after having established a relationship with their beloved husband initiate an expectation from within. Then there is that obligatory nine month schedule of relentless waiting and a new body made up of blood and flesh opens its eyes to the big bad world, out there! Bachelors (read males and females) never give up the enthusiasm of expecting. One common thing that haunts their mind is an expectation of a (virgin) partner. If not virgin, then something quite close to virginity. In today’s global versioned society, is that an expectation or just a necessity? The magazine surveys are bogus and misleading. Every fifth man and a second women loses his or her virginity to somebody either known or unknown to him or her. In such a case, where does the expectation fizzle out? Even while packing the bags for a long honeymoon, expectations are sky high. The rear section of the suitcases are stacked with condoms, porn cd’s, love potions and what not. Husbands and wives are quite susceptible to expectations. Husbands create an onbed session in their minds about how they would deflower a probably virgin life partner. The wives create vaginal fantasies about how the first hand experience would be? Definitely they would expect their beloved friends to demand a first hand report on what went wrong and where they went right during their long honeymoon? Don’t you realise the expectation still continues to contaminate, discriminate and overrule decisions about life and towards life.

Someone once anonymously quoted, “Don’t expect anything from anybody”.

Is that possible in a materialistic world? A teacher always looks upon his/ her students to respect her. Parents look upon their kids to take care of them. Goons look upon their accomplices to commit that perfect crime. Bosses look upon their employees for satisfactory results. Even God looks upon his devotees to worship him. So that term ‘look upon’ does come closer to ‘expectation’. But, still we are left thinking as to what exactly are ‘EXPECTATIONS’?
