In fact, most of the frustration and bitterness I see in people stems from unmet expectations. Most of the angst that people voice about their lives comes through claims that sound like this: “If there is a God, He didn’t come through for me. He didn’t follow my script! He didn’t fulfill my dreams!” Some of these people may have gotten exactly what they wanted, and yet the prize turned out to be fool’s gold, leaving them jaded and cynical. ~ “Better Together” by Tim Chaddick
