“Don’t expect anything from anyone”, a friend advised me once. I wanted to follow that advice because I knew that it would bring me enormous relief. But then not expecting is not an easy thing. There are expectations in every relationship, family as well as friends. The moment you come close to a person, you start expecting something or the other from him. If the other person does not meet your expectations you tend to feel bad over it. The solution to this problem is not, not expecting anything from the other person rather expecting from yourself that you won’t be sad if the person doesn’t meet your expectations. I know that it is complicated but still its better to stand up to your own expectations rather than expecting someone else to stand upto them. I don’t believe in absence of expectations for if I am not expecting anything from a person, i am not close to him. If you are putting something in a relationship, you always expect something back. There is nothing called a selfless deed. Even if a person is doing some social service, he does it for inner satisfaction and expects a little praise from the society. So dont be shy while expecting but remember conditions apply!!!

Of course Prach. But always remember, selfishness is the foundation on which the building of selflessness is built
