I’ve tried to answer these questions with my experiment. I’m not trying to find answers on a theoretical level but more in a practical sense. For me it works: I take it as it comes. No expectations, or: the less, the better.

They are based on our experiences, both: good and bad. There are countless situations in which they determine our behavior and perception. Often they are closely related to our opponent and his behavior. Interaction with people may be food and enemy of our expectations.
A happy and well-balanced person has basically lower expectations.
But: are expectations per se a bad thing? Are they our stumbling blocks or are they our mirror in which we recognise our fears and wishes? Do they sometimes help us to recognise what is important to us?
Nothing to expected is in most cases better and often the way with the most beautiful surprises.
But a life without expectations? How would it look like if we have no expectations for the behavior of our counterparts? What would be our values ​​and manners? Anyway, it seems to be a question of the same eye level.
