So the topic seems to be self explanatory - me complaining about expectations that other people have from me and how I am struggling to live up to them. But that's not the thing. When I say expectations I dont mean the expectations other people have of me. It's the expectations I have of me and from the people.
We all tend to want some things in life. But then how much to want is that I want to know. I am not denying that I get enough. What I am trying to say is that despite knowing that I get enough I can't stop wanting more. And the problem begins when I get that "more" and then I long for "some more". Where do I stop? How do I settle with what I have and stop wanting that little bit extra? It's hard.
So how much to expect and how much to settle for? Has anybody been able to figure this out? Well if he / she has then I would say they are godly humans. Because I stay true to my human nature and keep longing for that "little bit more".

Agreed. Thats what drives the growth and the enlightenment as well at the end. But yes, I believe there is always a point, in ones life when he/she is content with all the worldly pleasures. Still will find something missing, which will be peace..peace of mind which will be brought by the one-the almighty.Nothing else can.
