Great Expectations

Hope is the recognition of the truth that everything changes. Expectation is the delusion that we know what form that change will take.

True hope can give us strength to endure difficult circumstances. A false expectation can only lead to disillusionment and despair.

Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.--Eric Hoffer
