Lowered Expectations

My attitude is an expression of my values, beliefs and expectations. Not many others seem to get it. There can be no separation between emotion and thought, heart and head, for it is unlikely that one could exist without the other. I just don't feel that people think enough. At the same time, I think I feel too much sometimes. See, here I go thinking again!...

I mean, I like to think of myself as a pretty intuitive guy; severely observant as I so eloquently put it. I'm constantly aware of my and others' "expectations". Why isn't everyone else?! Looks like the whole ignorance is bliss thing really took root. I think it's really simple; before any emotions occur, people always seem to make an automatic, often unconscious assessment of what they think is happening at any givin' time and what it may mean to them and those they care about. I think the problem is that they tend to put themselves in that No. 1 spot far too often. Possibly assuming that they are the only one aware and capable of benefiting from the given situation? 

Human nature...Oxymoron if I've ever heard one.

I pretty much just expect people to mess up, and give them props for just simply being themselves! After a while being accustomed to good, or bad life experiences can only lead to more, or less favorable expectations of the present and upcoming circumstances. Stop expecting. 

Wouldn't you agree that often times when we do something truly good or honest, whether it be for self or another, it kind of goes unnoticed?!.. As if its just expected. Yet, if we are to mess something up.. Even a little bit, we're sooo likely to get called out.

It feels to me like the way the world is becoming, is beginning  to literally extract our purist emotions out of our thought process'. 

Love is the only shocking act left on the planet.
