Expecting is like leaning on a wall that can move at any time 🧱

What It Is

To "expect" something is to lean on the result or on other people's hearts.

Easy At First

When you lean, if things go wrong, you can be "poor me, pushed around," so it is a little easy.

⚡ TRY IT
The wind and the wall
The penguin is leaning on an "I expect…" wall. Let the wind blow.
Leaning feels so easy… 😌 Oops! The wall moved. 💫 I am standing on my own feet. The wall moved, but I am OK!
🐧
They will reply soon. I will surely win. They will praise me.
💫 Falls: 0 · 🐾 Steady: 0 / 3
🎉 The wall still moves. But now you do not fall.
Then It Hurts

But every time the wall moves, you wobble, and little by little it gets hard.

Own Feet

If you stand on your own feet, you do not fall when the wall moves.
