Expectations

A. Expectation based on misconception leads to disappointment

1. That people will do what is right if they know what is right.
2. That other people know how they make me feel and will help me.
3. That if I complain, I will get my way.
4. That if I can get my own way, I will be non-disturbed.
5. That if I  please people, I will be non-disturbed.
6. That if I please people, they will do what I want.
7. That I can change myself if I make up my mind.
8. That I have rights that other people should respect.
9. That I would be happy if other people or something would be different.
10. That others would accept my conclusions and reasons.

B. Anticipation based on illusion leads to anxiety

1. Any unanswerable question leads to anxiety, any "what if"

C. Expectation and anticipation can be made conscious

1. When they are made conscious, justification based on illusions vanishes, bringing false expectation to an end.

D. Expectation based on fact leads to creative action

1. The fact is that the world is populated with infants in grown bodies with some technical education.
2. The fact that people can never do anything, which at the moment of doing, they do not feel is right or proper or justified.

E. Anticipation based on fact leads to the joy of experiencing

1. The fact is that each experience is perfect for that time and place, even though it may not suit our taste or be without discomfort.
