Expectations, the hurdles to freedom of the mind

Published: Feb. 20, 2020, 9:13 a.m.

We expect a lot in life, from ourselves and of others. Expectations are very important to who we want to be and our vision of others. Expectations are often directly related to the Buddhist ways of thinking about suffering. The Buddha did relate to having expectations of desire and greed. In some ways that are true but in other ways having expectations are neither related to both. Let us have a closer look at what we think of expectations in general. Our first idea is that we expect to live, grow and die. We also expect to be loved, have relationships, get an education, work, grow older, having children and have good and bad moments in our lives.
