Expectation Is Suffering
According to Achaan Chaa’s interpretation of Buddha’s teachings, having expectations is the source of all suffering. It makes sense: when we expect something to be good and it turns out to be bad, we get disappointed. And when we expect something to be bad, we suffer because we think something horrible’s going to happen!
Thousands of years later, Buddha’s teachings seem to be on point, especially when it comes to relationships. This comic is a perfect illustration of how expectations can mess with a couple’s happiness.
