We like to set ourselves up for disappointment... We create expectations that are unrealistic and hope they come to life. And when they don’t we blame others for their shortcomings and don’t quite see ourselves the way we really are..
I must have been born into a much older world where everything was much simpler and more orderly, where everything was where it was supposed to be and people respected each other's ideas and argued rationally; wherepeople apologized when they knew they were wrong and where sorry meant sorry and 'maybe' meant 'maybe;' where actions were direct consequences of thoughts and good ideas were always recognized, and wrong ones were alwaysdiscouraged; where morality was not compromised and where people never said 'pwede na yan;' where people didn't know what sarcasm was, and where all one needed in order to get somewhere was sheer guts and talent, not connections norbribery; where double standards nor indolence were not tolerated; where title/name meant reality; where everything was what it seems; where honesty and transparency were given importance; where leadership was honored instead ofridiculed; where 'differences' pertained to ideas and goals and beliefs, and not to appearance or form; where due process meant due process in all fairness and without any form of bias; where help that was solicited produced the outcome that it wassolicited for; where people saw each other as persons related to them... perhaps most importantly, where public transports veered on the sides before loading/unloading.
