Truth vs. Expectations

"Truth hurts. Like boulders

That comes crashing down after

A ghastly landslide."

People say that expectations are good. When you expect something, there is a deeper yearning that makes you believe what you perceive in your head. When you expect you results to be good, your head pictures the joy and happiness of the celebrations of stellar grades, culminating in an euphoric moment that only you have the privilege to experience. Similarly, when you expect your results to be bad, you picture the possible ramifications that accompanies the announcement of your grades. The feeling of negative expectations bugs and torments you. Yet even negative expectations are good because it comes with a great degree of certainty; you are ready to deal with any possible outcomes because you have already expected it.

So in this case expectations are like perceived truths. These truths are what you strongly stand for because your mind, body and soul are already acclimatized to the expectations that you have.  In a way your expectations direct the way you live your life. So when what you expect defies reality, you find it incredibly hard to accept. Especially if it was a complete opposite of what you expected. At this point in time you start to doubt yourself severely, questioning your rationality and sanity. When perceptions are a complete contrast from reality everything becomes a hoax. But this is how the world works. Because nothing will go the way that you want it to be. Invariably there are bound to be disappointing moments that keep you in a state of perplex, when you will never be able to figure out why the world and the people around you are the way they are. You wonder why nothing ever goes the way you expected it to be. 

Deal with it. Because you live in a world of ugly truths.
