A short YouTube monologue arguing that unmet expectations are the primary source of human suffering. The speaker asserts that expecting loyalty, fairness, plans to always work, or permanence leads to pain when reality differs; releasing attachment to expectations reduces misery and opens the possibility for new experiences.
Expectations are where all your pain comes from. Now, as a human, we're obviously going to have expectations, especially things you think should be just a given, right? But then life gives us a different experience than our expectations. And how you deal with those is everything. What makes us miserable is expectations that aren't met. Well, if you have plenty of expectations, I promise you they will not be met. People will not always be loyal. Life will not be fair. The plan won't work, and the thing you thought will never end will end. Those are givens. But it opens up something new if you are willing to open up. But if you hang on to it, the more you hang on, the more pain you have.
