Can you imagine any relationship without expectation? I can't think of a single relationship in life that is not based on some sort of expectation. Be it mother/ father and their child/children, husband and wife, employer and employee etc all of them expect something from the other person. Some of these expectations are explicitly stated and others are expected to be understood as a foundation in any relationship.
It is so strange that we would expect others to follow certain customs or be aware of their boundaries or limitation while playing any role in life. But, when it comes to our convenience we just forget or expect others to let it go. When you cannot "practice what you preach", you should not preach at all or expect anything from anyone.
A person who moves beyond all these expectations would have reached a new level totally. Relationship based on a foundation of expectation would not be complete. So, how could you stop expecting from others but still not be taken for granted?? This is something I keep asking myself every single day in any relationship I choose myself to be a part of or born into. For instance we do not choose the family we are born into or the religion we are born into. These are all decided way before we understand and realize what family or religion or society is all about.
As human beings we are programmed to expect and it would take a lot of work to get out of this state of mind.
