"They say that America is a lie because its reality falls so far short of its ideals.
They are wrong.
America is not a lie, it is a disappointment.
But it can be a disappointment only because it is also a hope."
What is hope? Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.
Many times, we hope for things to happen but it didn't.
Sometimes, we fall short of what we intend to do or are expected to do or are hoping that we could do.
Disappointment steps in.
Disappointment is the emotion or circumstance felt when a strongly held expectation is not met.
So we should be prepared for disappointments, as we can't meet everyone's expectations including our own.
Hope and disappointents can't co-exist. Just like faith and fear.
It's just a thin line drawn between hope and disappointment.
I think I am expecting too much of myself and people around me.
Still trying hard to cling onto that thin line.
Expectation Management in Progress....
Faith will hold us steadfastly to hope.
I wanna hope that I can continue hoping and not get disappointed so much that I dun have the courage to hope again.
And hopefully I can get to the other side soon!
