A quick blabbering about rejection and denial

Rejection doesn't hurt, expectation does. Lies doesn't kill, denial does. ''Forget'' doesn't heal, ''forgive'' does

I found that quotes in twitter and agree that in some cases, that might be true. We live in circumtances where pressure is everywhere. We have to manage the expectation of our family, our friends, our bf/gf, our teachers, and many more. Without realizing it, we tend to expect more from others too. And we won't manage it, it will lead to major dissapointment in future event. I am the one who have a high expectation about myself and my surroundings. Since I'm willing to work hard, I often sacrifice my comfort zone to get this expectation. The problem is, shit happens, and reality bites. I get dissapointed a lot about these, and sure that this concept called expectation can ruined my mood in a minute. Rejection doesn't actually hurt, when we think about the bright side, when there is no rainbow without the rain. But unmeet expectation, can stab like a knife, with analogy of getting a present in a dream and hold it, but when we wake up, it's just a vague image that we only can remember. In an aim for a better me, I wanna try to lessen my expectation about everything, and see if that can lead me to a happier and enjoyable life.

About lies doesn't kill, well, I don't agree with any kind of lies, whether people called it white lie or anything they want, for me a lie is a lie, a betrayal of trust. But I'm kinda agree with the term that lies doesn't kill, because how can lie harm someone's heart, when nobody knows that it's a lie. But denial? It's the least expected human reaction that you get from people. Denial isn't the same with logical arguments, for me it's some sort of rejection, with full of self-center ego. Kinda confusing, but yeah, if you are confused, that means you think ;)

And about forget doesn't heal, but forgive does, this statement is obvious. Forget is temporary, if you meet that person again, all of the anger will raised to surface again. But forgive, it's like you tell your deepest heart that things which have done, is done, and no need to search for the mistake again. It means case closed, and you can move on to your life, if you want.
