Sometimes in life we feel let down and get quite emotional about it. Someone may have promised or said they will do something but they let you down. I'm sure everyone has experienced this and been upset by this, the emotional response need not be negative.
There are a few ways to approach let down. The key element to the emotional response of being let down is expectation, when we place an expectation on an object external to our mind we will always put ourselves in a venerable position, a position to be let down. How many times do we let ourselves down? Recall ever having said you will do something for yourself and then ended up procrastinating?
How can we trust an external source to bring us happiness or content? The point is we can't. This doesn't mean we don't live life without trusting people, it simply means instead of creating expectation we just try to understand that people are not perfect, they make mistakes, get caught up in material possessions, become distracted, are sometimes forgetful and sometimes self centred.... Agreed? People are generally not like this all the time but are you perfect? How many times have you let someone down?
We project our ideals, expectations and ideas onto other people, it is likely we will eventually be "let down", be understanding however, for we ourselves are also the culprits of this "crime".
Remeber, nobody is perfect, just be happy withing yourself.
