Today, while thinking about the sadness and similar feelings, we reached to the roots of where they start from!

From our (long enough) experience, we are concluding this thoughts:

When we initially meet someone, (by the way, surprizingly, it's called honeymoon period), we say "Hi", "Hello", we ask each-other general questions, we have smiles on our face and we feel happy talkig with each other. This other person can be a male, female, kid, elder - doesn't matter! This initial phase is great! At this stage, we don't have any "expectation" from the other person and so we are happy.

As we go further and further with the relationship, we start to initiate expectations in our minds. E.g. "it would be great if you could have lunch with me!" and if the other person can't fulfill them (in most cases) then we feel sad.

Today, after realizing this fact, let's try to eliminate the "expectations" from our friends, brothers, mums, dad, god etc. Let's live life without such expectations which make us sad. Rather, let's just be happy!!

 

Some lines of gujarati poem which relates:

---

જે ગમે જગત ગુરુ દેવ જગદીશને,
તે તણો ખરખરો ફોક કરવો;
આપણો ચિંતવ્યો અર્થ કંઇ નવ સરે,
ઊગરે એક ઉદ્વેગ ધરવો

(- નરસિંહ મહેતા)
