The Weekly Zazz #2
Don’t you agree that expectations are the worst? We expect too much from people, whether close to us or not, irrespective of the fact whether we have given something of value or not, we still expect a lot and every time it’s faced with disappointments.
And yet, we don’t lose hope and we start with the expectations again. Such is human nature.
It’d be better to understand that no one owes us anything, we’re here to give and everything we get is a bonus.
Nonetheless, keeping the sanctity of human nature going on, here I am expecting that you’d give me some feedback from last week’s newsletter or even from this one.
