Expectations versus experience

Expectations play a big role in human experience.
Expectations shape our experiences.

My intuition is that the experience itself as it is is most relevant, and more interesting/lively entertaining. (one may disagree, this is my feeling).

Expectations are necessary for making decisions and managing life.

So expectations are about the: Average expectation - there is a lot of variance. based on our limited knowledge (past and theories). Ignores change. Does incorporate any recent changes in approach/way of doing/experiencing.


Once decided, we got to forget our expectations altogether. We should get wholeheatedly into experiencing what there is as it is.

Advantages:
1) You are alive.
2) You see things as they are, and have much more management and decision power. You can always act as appropriate to the changing circumstances.
