The complexity of the human mind

ahh the complexities and perplexing nature of life. it never seizes to amaze, suprise or shock me. the things we expect out of others, out of relationships with anyone and more importantly out of ourseleves. it seems the more we expect, the less easily are we content. the more we seek, the more we feel we never sought. the more we question, the more we feel we never questioned enough. the more we regret, the more we feel we never quite regreted enough and hence think we could have done so much more. the neverending, vicous cycle of filling the voids you thought upon filling would then leave your life devoid of them. not knowing these voids just keep growing deeper with every void you thing u filled.

i think the thing lies with expectations. if we expected someone to be a total jerk den when he or she acted normal, or did something reasonably nice then we would hold them in high regard, and the converse being true. expectations a double edged sword- with the power to propel you along with the potent poison to entrap you. so what do we do then? expect nothing? i dunno. i dun think that's possible, but i think the least we could do is learn to accept the fact expectations come with exceptions and we just have got to accept them. the multitude of emotions we feel when we think we are wronged, isnt justified if they were just born out of our failed expectaions of others or ourselves.

this was so random. oh well...
