The Random Ramblings of Samm Diep

What causes us to have expectations??? Where do they come from? Do they stem from our past experiences? Proven facts?? Observations???

If I could just learn to not care,
then I would never have to feel disappointment again.

I'm a firm believer in giving people the "benefit of the doubt." Everyone deserves the chance to plead their case. I would want the same opportunity for myself. Innocent until proven guilty, right?

Enough of the b*s* courtroom cliches! Real life doesn't work that way! Accusations are made all the time! People are judged, misjudged, mistreated!

I'm a reasonable human being. I pride myself in always trying to be as reasonable and fair as possible. Unfortunately, that's not one of those "do unto others..." reciprocations. Unfortunately, being respectful and considerate is not enough to warrant the same behavior from others, not even the ones that are supposed to care about you the most.

Is it better to have felt disappointment than to never have cared at all???

NO! I want to feel sweet ignorance! I don't want to care anymore! How do I learn to stop caring?!

I'm tired of getting hurt...
