@casualconversation when you have expectations, you’re literally floating in a dream world. When they don’t fruitify, you suddenly dash onto the rocks of reality.

Your thoughts please 😊😊

    I’ve also heard that disappointment is the gap between expectation and reality!

    I think that’s in the ballpark!

    If I understand correctly, the Buddhist idea of ‘attachment, desire, expectation,’ and ‘anticipated reward’ digs deep upon this shizzle, helping us to understand who we really are, ideally. Is it not?

    Ooh ooh, but I remember some Western philosopher must have actually killed it with a succinct line upon such shizzle. Gott verdamt, who was it, though…?
