In spite of repeatedly saying that we should not have expectations from others, we still do. We affirm that people have the right to behave according to their judgment, yet we judge their actions according to our convictions. You say that this does not apply to you? Just think of a person close to you who recently acted in a way that you did not like. Maybe they didn't give you the answer or the attention you expected; maybe the tone of their voice seemed to imply something else; maybe they didn't inform you of a plan of theirs; maybe they asked a question that you didn't want to be asked. How did you react? Your “true” reaction, not what you showed the world, but to your ‘intimate’ response. Can you honestly say that you totally accepted what you didn't like or approve of, without a bit of resentment and/or blame? Of course you did! Everybody does. It's only natural. No one (including you) is that "perfect"!
