Expectations of Others is an Abuse

Posted on February 9, 2014 by Rethink Perfect - Desmond Sherlock

The biggest cause of abuse is supposedly being abused. The biggest cause of expectations
is being expected of. I think expectations of others is an abuse.

Just because everyone does it does not make it acceptable, in my view.

    I think every time we expect of another, it damages both, in that the expectation skews their behaviour towards coercion as opposed to amicableness.

    Whereas I think the goal should be a progression to being amicable towards each other, where neither expects any particular outcome, other than one that both can agree upon.

    Yep, easier said than done, but possible I think, and worth aiming for.
