Disappointment

When you plan everything from the tiniest to the largest details and it all falls apart, the feeling that you get is disappointment. When you plan for a party that you end up not getting invited to, you get disappointed. When you have way too many expectations from people and don't stand up to it, you feel disappointed. You also feel disappointed when you plan to do various things with people, grow old together and they just end up leaving you,when you hope to get full in an exam and end up with scrap, when your heart breaks, when you fail, when you fall, when you're bullied, you get disappointed almost on a regular basis. It gets you down, makes you sad, makes you doubt your actions and self-worth, but you can't go by what you feel at that point of time because Disappointment is false, it deceives.

A male human gets disappointed at all stages of his life, when he is denied candy as a boy, when is not given a new cell phone as a teenager, when he doesn't get freedom as an adult, but he gets the most disappointed as a man when he can't make his family happy and as a father when his morals and values are walked-on by his own children. A female too gets disappointed at every stage of life, as a kid when her Barbie breaks, as a teenager when she isn't allowed to wear make-up, as an adult when she has nothing to wear for a party, but she gets the most disappointed as a women when she feels she isn't doing enough for her family. She gets disappointed as a mother when her children go out of control, but she feels completely shattered when her trust is broken by her family and that shakes her faith in the whole idea of 'trust'. 

When life gives you lemons, make Nimbu Paani out of it. When you get disappointed, get back on your feet, chin up, look straight, big smile and get ready to fall again and again and keep repeating it. Risk everything and don't give up hope even you lose.

Nothing is worth putting yourself down and doubting your action. Nobody is perfect, nobody can always win, no body can always loose either. Everything is temporary, down today, up tomorrow, disappointed today, satisfied tomorrow. 

Disappointments come in various forms, come in every stage of life, the only solution is to stay positive and move on. I believe,"Problems are only as big as you want them to be, so are joys."
If you're negative, even the smallest of a problem because a huge boulder in your life, same way, if you're positive, even the biggest problem is nothing less than a tiny rock. Your perception is what matters. Disappointments may be big but you can reduce the pain by moving on. Moving on does not mean 'not caring at all', it means to care enough to not bring you down.

People often say,"The lesser you expect, the lesser disappointments you face." It's true but it's not a value one would base their life upon. The lesser you expect, the lesser you achieve. If you expect full, you work towards it and come close enough to it. if you aim to just pass, you fail for sure. Failure disappoints, trying and failing doesn't.
