Expectation and Man

Expectation is a strong belief and hope that something will happen or something not. Expectation is a positive emotional thinking that exists in all human beings naturally. But it is fact that the expectation of a person hurts man mentally and deeply if it does not fulfill. On account of this, he does feel anxiety and becomes totally disappointed. His relationship is staggered. Sometimes he mentally falls ill and a lot of money expends over his treatment. What a man should do? Should he put down the expectation utterly? Belief, unbelief trust, distrust, certainty and uncertainty are some life-oriented terms of fact and variables that has to face each man in his life. A balanced man has a balanced expectation along with considering its negativity.

Man does not rid of expectation in the mortal world as he is purely interdependent. He has strong relationships with other human beings. He expects from his parents, his teachers, his siblings and his nears and dears. He also expects of his future and his career as well as has many other expectations. In short, he is forced to expect. A man should be vigilant while making expectation, especially having expectation of persons. The man can keep himself safe from the pessimism and gloom of expectation, if he follows the following rules truly:
1. Expect but along with Accept: Man may expect, but prepare himself to hear negative remarks so that he could not hurt because if he is ready to listen “NO” the expectation will not hurt him.
2. Undue Expectation: Man should not make undue expectation because generally undue expectation is not materialized. Man only may make excessive expectation with Allah because expectation from Allah does not hurt the man of upright.
3. Untimely Expectation: Each activity accomplishes in its proper time or beyond time if someone wants to accomplish a goal in haste, he will jeopardize it instead to complete safely. Similarly untimely expectation hurts a human being. Do not make untimely expectation.
4. Expect on Expectation: Expect on Expectation means that man must consider all probabilities and possibilities of expectation even doing expectation with nears and dears. It will certainly save him from emotional hurt.
5. Expectation with Alternative: The expectation should be made with alternatives so that if a particular expectation is not accomplished the alternative expectation will do the purpose and in this way man will not be frustrated.
6. Expectation beyond Non-expectation: The expectation beyond non-expectation means that man should try his best not to have expectation especially from human beings. Majorly man should expect from Allah after obeying Him and His Messenger instructions with deep heart. It is guaranteed that in this way his expectation from human beings will also materialize either he does expect or not.
