Expectations???
Hello everyone..... i was surfing through anuj's blog yesterday and came across a very interesting topic.....he'd asked a question.......the question was....
Who is entitled to expect?
I mean, who is entitled to expect something in lieu of some good deeds/actions? Is it wrong to expect something good in return for your good actions? Why is it so tough to detach yourself? Why is it so tough not to expect even when you deserve it?
Why do people hide behind the garb of lies when simple truths can be clearer than water?
At first i was amazed..... the guy thinks quite the same as i think......
I tried to throw some light on this....... i answered him and i am seeking ur comments on this one.... am i correct? do you agree with me or do u think in a different way?
My answer:
You said about the policy of expecting good.... the bhagavad gita, one of the best philosophies ever tells us not to expect anything from anybody even if you did the best for him/her!! You say people are selfish…isn’t expecting selfish?
I’d recommend you to read the bhagavadita so that wenever you are left perplexed by the ways of the world... you can look upon a saviour!
Insecurities reside in everybody's heart...don't they?
but i think our outlook toward them have changed, we look for momental satisfaction! nobody has the patience these days! do u have it? do i have it? i don't think so!
maybe if someone has that much patience...he'd be a saint somewhere in the Himalayas !
the present way of life has changed everyone's outlook.
No one wants the truth..... truth hurts!!
Short cuts ,instant gratification....that's what its all about these days, and they aren’t achieved without trampling someone(that’s the mentality).. so the only way to make up is to please him/her for we cannot compromise on our own needs.
Everyone’s fake … it’s a mask they put to fool you… accept it and live with it.
Everybody’s selfish in one way or another… aren’t you? Am I not?
Its an onus for everybody to help you. Everyone needs you to pay back. It’s a give and take relationship.
You want people to change?? Ask yourself… are you willing to change?? Are you willing to take the long dark road which leads to light or do you prefer a shortcut yourself? What’s your idea of change? What’s your idea of sacrifice? Question yourself and you’ll see….. salvation lies within!!
Please do comment as i wanna talk about this one.
P.S: don't post in anonymity..... i'd like to know ur frame of mind knowing you as a person!

This topic which ur friend anuj raised and u answered is axiomatic, but then also I want to say only one thing that GOD MADE US(HUMANS) to survive only in groups or communities.These communities or groups survive by providing each other with "SERVICES" now this is to human who take these services as SELF-ISHNESS.This How the world goes.Thanks and reply this on ur Blog.

@venkat...dude u said that...its all right to be "expectant" of a favour in return when u do a favour,
so this means u do a favour and then look for the payback...i don't think so!!
Do it and forget it...and moreover if someone does something for u it ahould always come as a positive point as nothing had ever been expected!
