My dad says that my expectations of other people are too high, and that’s why I’m consistently disappointed when things don’t go the way I think they should.  I have a hard time just accepting this overly- pessimistic assessment of people, but could never point to a reason as to why it wasn’t true or why it shouldn’t be that way.  “It’s just not right. . .” and “Why shouldn’t I expect more from people. . .” — those are pretty weak retorts.  

A couple of days ago, I found this quote and realized, that’s why my expectations are where they are.  I know what I’m willing to do.  

What about you?
