Why Do We Get Hurt ?

"Why do we expect something from someone?" Isn't this the question you have had in your mind at least once till this day?

It's okay to have this question in our minds. We're humans, we are bound to expect. 

When a small baby cries, he is expecting his mother to come running to him and give him his bottle of milk. The act of expectations is in our traits. We can't run from it but yes we can be selective in our expectations.

 I have seen many times that when people love someone or show care to someone, they expect the same in return. Yes, I agree that it is natural and you will expect, but many times we don't get it back. And when we don't get it back we start blaming that person and we start to dislike him/her. Doesn't that show that you're being selfish? You loved someone in order to get love back from them. Isn't that being selfish? Yes, it is being selfish.

 I believe love should be void of all these things. If you love someone truly, shower them with your love, kindness and care. And never expect it back. This is what is called true love. And believe me, if you'll do it you'll get it back in multiples.

If you want to expect something from someone then expect a genius from you.
Expect to be the best in whatever endeavor you are in. 
Expect to stand for the highest values you hold true to your heart. 
Expect yourself to give in a little bit extra every time you work hard on your craft.
Expect yourself to love all, without any hatred or negative feelings.

I know it hurts when you're expecting something and you don't get it. But you know what, if you really cared for someone and they didn't reciprocate to you when you needed it, it shows that you're a better human being than them. How's that for a change of thought?

With that said, I would like to suggest you that might be the other person is busy or going through something tough in their personal lives or they’re struggling financially. You never know what problems are going on at the other side. So be understanding as well.

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy.
