The hidden hopes of humans
are enough to break your heart
for when they’re disappointed
you often see the soul depart
Some thoughts need to come out
The hidden hopes of humans
are enough to break your heart
for when they’re disappointed
you often see the soul depart
Disappointment makes the heart grow cold.

I appreciate reading your thoughts Navin, they always cause me to reflect. I guess I would consider if hope and expectation are the same thing? I don’t believe they are, but they’re certainly linked. My next thought is that everyone as some kind of expectation whether it’s of society, governments, relationships, health, but then… I don’t know everyone, I might be wrong. I read a book a few years ago called The Courage to be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga which I think touches on this topic when it comes to interpersonal relationships. Annnnyway, see what happens haha. I get curious and start to unravel the threads of thoughts you send my way. Thank you my friend 🙂

You’re right…somewhere hope & expectation are linked…but they aren’t the same as I see them…I feel it as well, that everyone has some kinda expectation…that’s OK…but if our (as in humans) structure / existence is based on expectations from others…be it society or humans…then who are we?…are we creating something?…do we have a purpose?…or are we simply taking the space to create mystery in our & others’ lives…how interesting – the book that you mentioned…haha, it’s lovely that you shared your beautiful thoughts…look at me, I reflected on your fine lines…sending love, my friend ✨💟💫
