Life seems easy when you stop expecting. Now expectations like: You expect some one to be a little bit loud and some other one to behave a bit subtle.. Sometimes you expect people to behave sane and the other time they have to be a "blockhead".
A very good quote i read once -
"When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like
them for who they are.”
For me , every time when you expect, you some how try to imply yourself onto the other and then sit back to see the other person do and dance as per your thoughts, which is funny !
Now the advice is , add a little sugar and same amount of salt to life and it all will be done! By saying that i mean.. start contemplating at both aspects of life .. Time when you were expected to complete your homework at school and it was the subject of a stern and obnoxious teacher and you could not do it because of a genuine reason (not because the pet ate it or something like that! but even this also may be a case..!!) and the teacher was not ready to compromise at any cost then what? He /She expects you to complete it and you expect him/her to understand the bonafide issue .. and then you know, how expectations hurt..!! ;) :D Punishments must not be a gleeful experience. Same ways adding a bit sugar by understanding and a bit salt by compromising helps a lot.
Another fact is , by not expecting, you can make every gesture of the other person a cool surprise and i am the evidence..! My life is full of surprises.. I always forget to wish people on their birthdays at 12 am's as i always fail to keep myself awake till that time and always find myself in the arms of dreams 15 minutes before 12.. I never went to give any of my friend such a surprise on such special occasions.., i never did anything like that for Rita , even when she is the one who is included in BFF abbreviation for me.. She is by the way the master of such expressions., but it does not mean that i don't love her or anything like that. She has now probably gave up on me but you see, one day when i would do some "cheesy" stuff for her like that..., i can imagine how much happy that would make her..! :D it would be a mind-boggling experience - The Sugar part.., but all the expectations are just sour and cliched part of living and compromising over the expectations for the reason that you love the person more above all - The Salt part..
The fact is .. a bit of both makes the world a place worth living and and get high on..
