I didn't mean to say it was wrong to have expectations. I should have elaborated I guess, but tried to keep it short. I have high expectations for people and things that are important and close to me, and low expectations for things not as important to me or out of my control. It doesn't mean I don't care about some of those other things at all. It's just that I only have a limited amount of mental and emotional energy to spend, and I try to spend it wisely. Edit: hmm, maybe I'm sort of a cynic if I have low expectations. But I don't really think of myself that way. I try to be optimistic and focus on things I can do and not dwell on what I can't.
