People have rarely disappointed me but that is only because I don't expect too much. People are who they are and there's not much you can do about it.
There are times, however, that for some reason, I do expect certain behaviors from people an find myself wondering where I really stand when what I expect does not happen. If what I expect happens only when it is easy and requires no inconvenience or even sacrifice, that alarms me.
The question arises again, should I expect anything from anyone? Those from whom I expect nothing are easy to dismiss but when disappointed by those from whom I do expect "something", I'm not certain what my reaction should be. Cynicism begins with such disappointments and it seems I should adopt that mode and finally, once and for all, place everyone in the same category and expect nothing from anyone.
