absolutely spot on post! Expectation is the root of disappointment, which in turn becomes a negative. Yet it seems inherent to us as humans, this expectation. I have been aware of this for some many years and have concluded that it's the rush, the thrill, the upper as it were... often to be let down. It seems that expectation is a drug, one I am having a hard time quitting. But I am aware of it and notice it, no judgment.
