J. Krishnamurthy and most of the philosophical writers and some of the religious teachings suggest to live without any expectations to lead a happy life.
I think I agree that statement. BUT, big question is HOW?
I think it is really hard to follow in this materialistic world. Not even for the sake of materials but also for sake of love among the families.
When we work hard in our company, we expect some sort of acknowledgment from them. If we don't get what we expect, then we think the company is not fair. If you love someone truly, then when we find out that the other person does not love you as you expected, you think that he/she is not fair with you.
In both the above scenarios, the level and type of expectation varies however expectation exists.
Some of us kill ourselves with this sort of confusion after we find out that things don't happen as we expected. Rather than killing ourselves, why cannot we take some time to express our loved ones or company about what we deserve and why we deserve. It may alleviate some sort of pain that we cause to ourself and probably we may get what we want or deserve.
You may not get always what you want but at least by taking an opportunity to share your feelings, you could live happily without torturing yourself. As long as we live happy life...what else matters? Expectations, beliefs, dogmas, etc....all formed by us because of our capability of thinking and making things complicated sometimes than it seems to be.
