I Think Too Much

Right now, I am thinking, people shouldnt teach kids about love, kindness. Specially to little girls, never tell them fairytales and about loving unconditionally and all that crap. They grow up dreamer and get crushed again and again.

Every act of kindness and love, isnt appreciated as much as taken for granted. And then expected more. Even if you give away every ounce of love you have, you would still be told it wasnt enough. I see so many wanna be Belle's, trying to tame a beast, only to be burnt, cut and killed for it.

It is our own expectations not people that disappoint us when people don't react how we expect them to. Lack of love, kindness, and compassion is what is making people not know how to love unconditionally. I feel compassion for those who cannot love because they were not taught, they were harmed themselves. I have no expectations, even if I am hurt, I love anyway because for me I would rather flow like water through life than become hard like stone.

thats brilliant advice, thanks. Expectations, thats where I get stuck too!

Think of it this way: we don't get disappointed when we don't get a love letter in the mail everyday because we aren't expecting it right? Same thing, I try to give love without expectations because it makes me feel good and helps me grow regardless of whether I get love back, I know that I was loving and that in turn makes me feel good. When you have no expectations if they leave it doesn't matter because you were just enjoying the time you had with them. People have a tendency to get wrapped up in the outcome when really what matters is what is happening to us RIGHT NOW in this moment. Hope that helps some :)
