No Expectations


Is it possible to experience a state of no expectations in a relationship? Where do expectations come from? Are they a result of identification with the way we perceive a relationship to be? Do they spring from the past? Are expectations a form of attachment? If we are fully present in the here and now, do we then have no expectations?

"As long as the ego runs your life, most of your thoughts, emotions, and actions arise from desire and fear. In relationships you then either want or fear something from the other person." ~ Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks
