Having expectations is an oxymoron

Every body has some expectations from other people. Many a time we hear people saying "I expected you to do this", "I expected you to say this" etc. But I feel having expectations is an oxymoron. Let me explain:

We only have control over ourselves. We have no control over what any other person does and says. God has given the same capabilities to see, talk and hear to everyone. So people can say what ever they want and do what ever they want. When we don't have control over the other person, having expectations is like saying I want to control what you do or say so that it is in favor of what I want. That is not possible at all. You can only hope that the other person does or says what you want but there is no guarantee.

So stop having expectations from other people.
