No one betrays anyone but your own expectations...

It is good to think like this only if you want every single ounce of sadness and hurt upon your own shoulders. I won’t say that it won’t guarantee one not getting betrayed again to some extent.

It never hurts to believe in this theory, but it DOES make you close all sorts of doors. Someone once told me that it’s called ‘solitude’. Someone called it ‘taking time’ the other called it ’need space’.

You expect your mom to take care of you when you down with flu/fever

You expect you brother to punch in that guy’s nose in who broke your heart

You expect your best friend to listen to your failed attempts to get to talk to that mouth watering ( :-D) neighbor.

You expect great deal of food from your grandmother in your summer vacation

You expect your date to show up on time with flowers to apologize for making you wait

You expect a gift on your birthday

You expect someone to say those three magical words and mean it too

You do expect a good grade even though you know you have just worked on the project/assignment/exam only for those wee hours of the night.

You do expect to get loved in return.

It’s true, no one betrays us but our own expectations, but nothing betrays the heart more than having no-expectations.
