The trigger for much of our anger is frustrated expectation.  We sometimes invest so much of ourselves in a project that when it doesn't turn out as it should we become irate.  All "shoulds" point to an expectation, a prediction for the future.  We might have realized by now that the future is uncertain, unpredictable.  Relying too much on an expectation for the future, a "should," is asking for trouble. ~ Ajahn Brahm (from "Opening the Door of Your Heart")

I do my think and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, its beautiful. ~ Frederick E. Perl
