There will be many unpleasant things that occur in life, but they’re considered unpleasant only because that’s your expectation and this is where suffering arises from. This expectation process is at our core, without it the creation that there’s a you who doesn’t like what’s happening would never arise. Also without the pleasant attached expectation, you wouldn’t need for things to be different so there wouldn’t be a need to try to make things pleasant; after all expecting life to be pleasant is how life is mostly lived. Always wanting life pleasant is why so many are in a constant state of discontentment, it has nothing to do with what’s going on outside, it has everything to do what’s going on inside. Nothing can cause discontentment unless it’s allowed and it’s only allowed because it’s not known how not to have expectations.
Because of the conditioning in place most people will just go along with what society and the so called experts have to say. To much is taken as the norm without looking to see the truth and this is why there’s so much expectation. The expectation you have for something or someone is the projection you have for yourself. Without a settled mind this will not be seen so expectations energy will continue to be the controlling energy in place. Expectation breeds expectation, always and suffering leads to suffering, always. To me suffering isn’t necessary and in the present moment I have found it doesn’t truly exist, not because unpleasant things don’t happen, but because there are no expectations that cause it…
