Great expectations

How different are you? How unique are you?

World is full of people, people with similar characteristics - people with similar faces. And yet, everyone in their heart believes they are different. It is these thoughts that give us the confidence to rationalize our actions, even when common wisdom suggests wrong doing. It is also these thoughts, which make us expect things from people.

We spend our lives full of hopes and expectations. And most of the times, we're bound to fail. But we try and not let each other down once we decide they mean something to us. We wish the best for them, we hope and pray for them, hoping - they would be doing the same for us. Yet, everyone, being unique in their own sense, never responds the way we had hoped. How badly have you ever felt? There is truth behind the saying that those we love also possess the ability - no, the power - to hurt us most. And yet, they may be oblivious to it - because they are, different.

It is scary to lose someone really dear or even think about it, people generally sink into their darkest ever shadow of loneliness. We feel the same sentiments, but we differ in our responses to them. We hope we are strong enough, especially when the loneliness returns to haunt us. Those that do weather this storm, really are different. The rest are just lowly mortals.
