It's easy to say don't expect anything from anyone,
But the truth is that without hope/expectations there is no relationship in this world.Expectations may be more or less,
& those who think/say they didn't expect anything from anyone before or don't do it now,
The truth is that they are telling a lie to themselves.
For example,when a small child looks at the mother,he/she thinks that the mother will understand & will give him food, water, sleep,toys or whatever toys he/she wants,Here there is love,relation , and there is hope(expectations) hidden in it too.
So more or less expectations can be an option, but if one thinks without expectations there is a relationship (be it family friends or whatever).
Then they need to think again;because they're running away from the truth.
"Overall we are humans, not robots, so it is natural to have expectations."
