Hope...

Well the title explains what I am going to type next? Certainly about hope and its relevance to life.....
Well have we ever thought why we feel dejected?? Or for that matter why we become unhappy when things dont go our way? Our life constitutes hope as a major factor. I mean hope is the driving force for the life.....
we hope for sth and when we dont get it we get sad....Does this mean that we should not hope ?
I think the reasons for all the pain in life is that we expect so much from others even without thinking whether they can give it to us. I think to remain happy you should expect nothing or as little as possible from others.....
for example i have too many friends....i get dejected or sad when they make no effort to be in contact.....but in the first point why do i expect them to be in touch? I agree they are friends and they should be in touch but then it can not be used as a reason for them to be always in touch...so its better if you accept the realities of life as it is and lead the life withoout expecting anything.....desire ceratinly leads to sadness and dejection if it is not fulfilled....i am not preaching everyone to give up the materialistic ideas and be spiritual or a sanyasin..what i am plainly telling is harbour ur desires but then you should be strong enough to carry on with ur life when they do not materialize....and in no way i am saying you to stop dreaming......dream as much as you can because like hope dream is also a part of life.....without dream life will be so colourlessso keep dreaming .....on dreams too i hope to write sth.....later..bye....
