Hopes And Expectations!

Published by

Just wondering..

While on the one hand you are striving towards it, and on the other there is only faith and a vain belief.

What exactly happens?

Does that belief turn into the expectations that we are taught not to have?

Or the hope itself is a reflection on the said expectations which we are not suppose to have?

Or, is there a fine line between hope and expectations which I am blinded not to see?

Or they are just two words trying to play with my mind?

Any thoughts?

    Clearly hope reflects positivity. When you have hope, you have positivity, maybe not too much but at least a little. You long for that “something” to happen. And expectations on the other hand is believing that that “something” might happen. And when it doesn’t, you feel disappointed.
    When you hope for something, it doesn’t hurt as much because you never knew if it would ever happen, unlike expecting.
    Hope and expectations are two totally different words. It depends on how we think about each.

    I believe there a fine line between hope and expectations! Hope is a positive vibe which allows us to grow and keep moving forward; however, expectations are demanding and rigid exactly what we want to happen regardless of what is actually happening! Great post!!

    Interesting thoughts to be with …perhaps hope with positive expectation is what we feel as trust.

    Thought provoking question Moushumi. Hope is having the faith of seeing light at the end of the tunnel. It is always associated with positives. Expectations can be overwhelming and at times can pull one down.

    Hope comes after we have done what all we can and all our efforts are done and now we look forward to them to bear fruits and though not visible, all those efforts act like an invisible force to help achieve that desired outcome. Expectation is more like being selfish and not doing anything but still expecting things to work out for us..but they lack that invisible force which hope has! Expectation is the evil twin of hope!
    But a great post!!
