This sums up our generation

If we feel disappointment that others are not doing “good” or are working against our mission to do good, aren’t recognizing us for our work or helping.... that’s us still thinking about what we get for what we do- doing good in hopes of recognition or status or validation as opposed to for the sake of giving. If one gives- it is t disappointing when one takes- that is the nature of giving no?

When we try to hold others to the same standards we hold ourselves to- we are bound to disappointment. We simply cannot expect others to intrinsically follow the same standards. We set the standards only for ourselves and our behavior. We decide the type of human we want to be- and how we let others treat us informs them and guides them in the standard of which they will do so. So one doesn’t have to be spineless to be free if such issues- one can still dislike things or want to change things while accepting those one cannot or should not- but disappointment is an internal emotion caused by our own misalignment of judgment.

Tl:dr- if you are constantly disappointed you most likely have poor judgment, or your perceptions aren’t aligned to reality. We all get disappointed some times. If you are disappointed constantly however- that is likely your own fault primarily. Eg: Being disappointed when your new computer breaks is human- you want it to work. It does not. Being disappointed your new computer is slow is caused by poor judgment (picking the wrong computer, not doing research etc,) or not aligning your expectations to reality- (this person is always late... I am disappointed they are late this time though..) Or both- (“I paid $59 on wish for this gaming laptop- why can’t it play the newest games at Mac FPS and graphics settings?!)
