Excellent post Unseeking Seeker. Yes, expectation can be the villain. It reminds me of a common
story you may have heard before:

A scorpion wanted to cross a shallow river, and a monk came along picked up the scorpion and took
it across the river. When the monk put the scorpion down it stung the monk. The monk asked
“why did you sting me?” The scorpion replied because I am a scorpion. It is my nature to sting others.

There are people who have unrealistic expectations from someone whose nature it is to
sting them.
