In spite of knowing that you should not have expectations of others, you still do. You know that people have the right to behave according to their judgment, yet you judge their actions according to your convictions. Think of a person close to you who recently acted in a way that you disliked. They didn't give you the attention you expected; maybe the tone of their voice seemed to imply something else; maybe they asked a question that you didn't want to hear. What was your ‘true’ reaction - not what you showed the world? Could you totally accept what you didn't like without a bit of resentment and/or blame? Of course you didn’t! No-one does. It's only natural. No-one (including you) is that perfect!
