NOBODY IS AS WEAK OR AS STRONG AS YOU ARE.

The whole truth is that Nobody is as strong or as weak as you are. You are the only perfect and complete being there is, Lolz. This may sound funny but, it is the fact.
The best of the world renown geniuses have failed us many times, especially when we needed them most.

Over again, I have heard ladies complain they will never date again because some guy somewhere broke her heart and played her but the truth still remains that it is not totally sane to give up because some guy somewhere played you.

Last month, my friend @desmonddesk took his laptop for repairs but instead of the computer engineer repairing the laptop for him, the guy changed his screen and replaced the RAM with a smaller one. While @desmonddesk was complaining to me, he said, "I can never do this to anybody, no matter the situation" and I said, man! its time you start expecting anything from the least of the persons and stop expecting others to act the same way you would in the same situation.

People keep complaining here and there about what they will do to some certain persons because of what they people did to them and even for what they failed to do.
I love this quote by Alexander Pope

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.”

The blame game is not a new thing for me, maybe for you too. I see people blaming others for the right things they didn't do wrongly and for the wrong things they didn't do right.

I have personally been in situations where I made up my mind never to be kind anymore but all those never changed a thing about me. The truth is, nobody is as strong or as weak as you are.

Maybe this is why psychologists teach about individual differences and the part this differences play collectively form our dispositions and the different behaviours we see people manifest on daily basis.

This individual differences is what make you perceive things differently from your partner, makes you feel you are more wise than your elders, makes you think that your boss is too young or old to lead you.

Don't be surprise when you see identical twins born from the same womb, maybe the same hour, abusing each other because of what one did that was out of the other's expectation.

The parenting style, culture, school, religion and age are some of the factors that affect the different behaviours people put up.

Before I start killing myself because somebody is not acting according to my expectation then I should start asking myself some critical questions like;

Do we have the same temperament?
Are we from the same culture?
Do we have the same religious affiliation?
Were we raised by the same parent?
Do we have the same level of knowledge?

Some of these questions above should be a good pointer to why I should start overreacting or not react. If any answer to the questions above is on the negative then I will have to get some chill pill and calm down.
People will always do less than you expected, they will always not understand your view, they will steal your thing.

Learn how to expect anything from anybody, even from the least expected people
Learn to give excuses for people's excesses.
Know that nobody is like you so they won't behave like you would.

True. We're all unique. Some people tend to aspire to be like others, which is wrong.

Aspiring to be like others is totally wrong. We can never have 2 original in this case.

self love and you'll survive in this world of madness

Yeah! better way of reducing some headache

Truly if we learn to depend on nobody, then disappointment can never catch us unawares.

Very true @dee-y, most times we punish ourselves unnecessarily because of over expectation.
