Society, interaction, contact between individuals are inseparable part of human existence. Through the course of life we meet so many people… some of them are our relatives, some of them are our colleagues, some are friends, some are classmates, some belong to same social group and millions more undefined relationships.
Any interaction requires lots of predictions and anticipations. Because people just don’t come and tell you what they feel about something or some action. Besides it’s always an advantage if you can predict someone’s move in advance. When we start interacting with a new person, we start to build a hypothetical person in our mind… in our imagination. His/her shape changes with every interaction with him/her… we get new data, either we try to fit them in existing model or we have to modify it. Sometimes some extreme data are recorded…sometimes we aren’t sure whether we should discard these data or should we modify our model?
Sometimes it’s really shocking to have a data which is completely against the observation of nearly day to day observation of so many days…
Is this expectation? Well, I think, rather this is prediction. There is a subtle difference between predication and expectation. Expectation is less dependent on data; it has more to do with relationship between persons concerned. On the contrary prediction is purely observation based.
In my life I had to make lots of predictions, but expectations… may be I can count the number. And I hate expectations which often bring pain… but either way it’s part of life.
