Happy Are Those With No Expectation

Sometimes I wonder, is it true, that happy are those with no expectations? I mean, how many times you were dissapointed because you didn’t get what you’ve expected.

Like the time when you call your significant other just to say hi and try to have a li’l chat with him and he just sounded not interested in talking with you because he was busy working. So when you ask, “Hi, what are you doing?” Although you already knew that he must be stuck in front of his laptop and working, you expected him to say, “You know, just working. Wassup?” But instead of that, all you got was, “Working.” So, instantly you said, “Oh, okay then,” and then hung up the phone. And that’s it. Your mood is ruin now.

As Shakespeare once said, "Expectation is the root of all heartache."

However, what screw us up most in life is the picture in our head of how is it supposed to be.

So, should we not have any expectations in order to be happy?

Cheers!
