Expectations
There are some things just so wonderful and beautiful and life-giving beyond compare that it’s quite difficult to contain it within, to give a passing approval, and not summon more adjectives and smile and radiate. But there’s a sense that saying too much might spoil the joy of discovery, like giving away the end of a story before the book is read or the film is seen. Yet, a list could go on about how the story doesn’t actually ever end, and in truth there’s been nothing said about a hundred-fold more of the mystery. But, of course, that is simply more spoiler.
Setting expectations low leaves little room for disappointment, and therefore could be said the best way to go; setting high expectations might ruin the whole occasion. And so this is our dilemma. My only conclusions are humility and patience. There are other times when expectations are set ambiguously, thus misunderstood, and I have the same conclusions about that, too.
