Expectations

Expectations

“Resentment involves a state of mind and bodily feeling. It is a form of anger that results from an unfulfilled, potentially unrealistic, expectation. It occurs when we associate more negatives or drawbacks than positives or benefits with some expected outcome or behavior. Gratitude is an attitude that arises when we realize that there exists an underlying balance of positives for each of the negatives. It results from the recognition of an underlying order. A balanced perspective can ‘cure’ resentment. A realistic expectation can prevent it.”
