Answer 1

Desire and expectation also lead to great rewards. People will rise to the level of expectation which is set. I really don't know about you, but I tend to learn from my mistakes and rarely repeat the same ones twice.

Answer 2

Desires and expectations are inborn quality of any person in this world. Nobody can stop that, till the last day. Some wise people after the retirement they start thinking and put a full stop for the desires and expectations. You are expecting an answer for your question and that is your desire and I am answering your question thinking that you will select my answerer is expectation and my desire too. So, nothing can be stopped till we end our life once for all. Good question and I liked to answer and for that thank you for the same. Yours VRVRAO

Answer 3

While I can see that discontent and disappointment can come from Desire (which implies a lack - there is something missing that we wish to have, and so there is desire) and Expectation (when we try to influence another to behave in a way that we wish), I don't think that others often realize that they need only look around them to see that they have all that they need in life (which helps to take the lack out of desire) - if you know what I am saying.

Take for example the man who wants love in his life. He spends time lamenting that he has no love in his life and builds up the Desire for it instead of looking around at his friends and family and realizing that he does, in fact, have love - love enough to sustain him. Once he can see love alive and active in his life, only then can he release the pain of desire and be happy and open to whatever love comes his way.

Perhaps he then finds a romantic love, and yet rather than be happy and grateful that he has what he wants, he often gets bogged down in expectations of what that love will be - what she will do for him or with him or even to him - rather than being open and receptive to whatever this new love will bring him.

Ultimately, this needs to come to light as a mistake. To many people focus on the negative (the lack and disappointment) and so they attract more of it into their lives - instead of focusing on what it is that they want in life and being grateful for evidence that they are receiving it. People also need to be careful so as not to identify with their desire, lest they perpetuate the cycle.

We can stop today - but it will start with individuals. When others catch on and follow suit, it will begin to affect the way we in larger groups handle this concept.

Answer 5

Ditto what Sancha said. Earlier this year I bought some foam padding and now I just bang my head against the wall whilst wearing the padding when I can't break my cycle. I'm really happy that everyone else here learns fast enough to rarely repeat their mistakes. Maybe if I addle my brains enough I will shake the stubborness out and then I too can claim that I learn the first time I make a mistake, not because I'm learning mind you, but because my brains are addled.

Answer 6

desire is in the DNA , but mistake arises from trial,
the more u go out exchanging ambitions with involvement, the busier you are,
and if ur not busy, u`d be a loser
when people realise that their life was a big Lesson learnt, they stop acting like christians, and hope other people make the same mistake as themselves

Answer 7

A lot of us keep doing the same thing the same way, while expecting different results from the previous times. It's like knocking your head on the wall over and over again.

Some of us stop and change course; others never seem to learn. I, too, wonder when we are going to stop.

Answer 8

all the desires and expectations are not leading to disappointments..

some genuine desires or expectations are needed in life to develop the self or to serve the humanity..

we have to expect the failures or struggles to achieve the great things..

expectations of ours...
expecting too much from others will continue till we start doing ourselves...

Answer 9

more the success the more is the disappointment behind it.

those who are afraid to fail can never succeed

if u do nothing u will not fail and no disappointment

even those who set out on the path of truth like Budhaa were not sure if they will find it, how they will find, where they will find it ??/

it is after numerous disappointments , appointment comes

after repeated failures sucess come

this is the reason world consists of failed and successful are few.

Aaadge-- the world will be inherited by meeks

Answer 10
