Delusions: or watchamacall-em'

The unreflected life is not worth living (Socrates)--The unlived life is not worth reflecting upon (Buddhist) No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities. – Christian nevell bovee-

Great/Grave expectations

Had a mini debate recently bout whether its right to have expectations of other people-friends, family,...church leaders. (or at least to what extent). A friend pointed out in the end that the best way is to only expect from God. All else,...keep it zero. Not even one bit. Cos people being people, are not perfect and will disappoint you somehow--even more so if you have great expectations of them. Goes without saying that with great expectations comes great disappointment. Still, theres always this tendency to expect somehow...

Hence my resolve to begin a 30 day zero expectations regime ala Morgan Spurlock's 30-day series. Even the most menial of things such as waiting for an sms....or for food to be on the table by dinner time. No expectations buddy. No complaints.
