I know I have written before about letting go. Specifically I want to write about letting go of expectations. Let’s talk about people caring or not caring. I know if I make the statement, “People don’t care”, there will be an uproar. But, they really don’t. Let me explain. When I say that people don’t care I think I really mean that I cannot expect people to care. This is a neutral position. This is truly letting go of expectations. People either care or they don’t and there is much gray area in between those two poles. In fact, I doubt there is anyone alive who doesn’t care about something. We all care about something.
“People don’t care” really just means that they don’t care about what I need for them to care about. They don’t fulfill my expectations of them. This is the letting go. There is great freedom in letting go of expectations.
“But I have to expect certain things of certain people.” Do you? Do you really?
