'i'm bemused at what you just did, you stumbled me.'Having lived in this society of high moral values, the above statement is as common as the air i take in.Those words spilled out of an unmet expectation, these expectations may be saying certains words that you were not 'supposed' to say, or even doing certain actions that is undesirable by others.Expectations do vary, don't they?Everyone of us are born into this world and we learn to expect and to live by expectations.The level of expectancy is greatly affected by one's environmental conditions.Take for example, if one is born with a sliver spoon in his mouth, words such as fuck, aresehole will be detested by them. Whereas, one that is born into a family that is below average family income, it will be perfectly fine. The expectations of both background will be different, the sliver spoon person will expect everything to be done in a proper manner yet with excellence, while the other guy would just expect to enjoy his daily lifestyle.The fundamental question asked by many is this, 'What is the line to draw for expectations?'Differing answers rings out as days pass.My personal perspective on it:there are many expectations in our lives, may it be internal or external, but we ought not to be dictated by such standards. Having too many expectations, will stretched oneself to the vertics. Thus, i live for only one expectation, his smile. I must admit that it's easier said then done, but i seek to realign my heart daily to it.Sometimes, the overpowering pressure from the society might shift the focal length a little, but i have to bring it back to its principal axis. I choose to live between the focal length but not above it. For this reason, it's magnified.A smile on his face is enough. :)So, if i never meet your expectations, too bad. I do not live for your expectation, but his. :)You have the ability to twist those words, but i have the ability to comprehend my heart.So it's still this, a smile.davidhoe.:)
