"Expectation is the root of all heartache." - William Shakespeare

The only reason why you feel heartbroken about somebody is because they didn't meet your expectations. Maybe they gave you the cold shoulder, or didn't reply straight away - you're shattered inside! On the other hand, if they do meet your expectations, you're ecstatic!

This is something I learnt from Living, Loving, Learning.

So, in terms of practicality, do we lower our standards? Well, say you lowered the standards and then those standards were fulfilled - would you feel fulfilled?
