Is this justified? It is only natural that people have some expectations from others close to them.But where does one draw the line? When it goes beyond a certain limit ,this can lead to a lot of unhappiness and the relationship can suffer...

We have full right to expect from our friends and relatives but we must know our relations first.

I don't expect much from friends or relatives as i know they are going to break expectations anytime. :blink:

We have to see and decided, with whom we have expectation.
If we have close relation, we can expect, but if not, then we have to do everything by our self.
Everything has it own limitation. Whether it is love or things, when it cross some limits surely it will hurt.


Yes, expectations should also be limits.

Expectations should not be beyond the sky, where we can't see what the other person is expecting.


Definitely ! they should be not only within limits but also affordable.When you know that your parents or spouse expects the impossible from you, it can make you distressed and lead to a lot of unhappiness ...So people who have expectations from others should be realistic !

No one wants the burden on hopes on the Shoulder. So, just hope, from the person, by looking his/her condition.
Actually we expect only from persons whom we feel close. Isn't it?

The expectations should ideally be not in kind where you expect them to spend money fro you, that should be only limited to a very few who are really close to you, from others expectations regarding their behavior and mannerism towards you can be expected!

Did you see what happened to the girl in Assam? :evil:

She did not expect money from any passer by she expected someone to fight or ask boys to stop or call police but no one did it. :evil:

Did you see what happened to the girl in Mizoram? :evil:

Mizoram???? I think you are talking about the unfortunate event happened in Guwahati! Well, that kind of expectation is something that is not wrong, but it is the moral duty of every citizen of this country, to say of which, everyone has failed miserably!
Expectation is in our blood. If we don't expect from our people, with whom we should expect?

Very very true Kalyani, what happened at Guwahati was shocking and to think that it was done in a public place where people were around and no one offered to help that poor girl is even more disturbing.We have become a very selfish and self centered society and react only when things actually happen to us ! :angry:
On the one hand we speak of progress and people like to follow western life style which is supposed to be progressive (the old timers condemn it though ) , people in the western countries have a much better civic sense from what I have seen , although they do not interfere in your personal life ..
I don't expect anything from anybody.Whether the person is very close one or not.But one must not expect anything from anyone.
There is no right to expect something from our closed one...
I cannot except any thing from a very close person........As i know if i except he must make some exception from me too and if i am unable to fulfill those there there is a quarrel...........
I doubt if we can be without any expectations, at least within ourselves ,although we may not express it ! Parents are bound to have some expectations from their children and so on...Relationships have no meaning without mutual expectations and also the pleasure in fulfilling it ..
This is two way traffic, you cannot survive without give and take. The total selfless are found in Himalayas only.

That's true ! Every relationship in life is based on give an take which also has some expectations attached to it ...otherwise there is no meaning to any of the relationships !
There is no harm in doing things up to a certain extent once the money becomes prime and relations secondary, the problems start there.
