Today, I have 2 things on my mind: One is - "Goals, Hopes and expectations". The other, is - "Satisfaction".
1. Goals, Hopes & Expectations
These words don't sound the same, and even mean different things, I don't know why people keep confusing them, one for the other.
Goals
Things you want AND thriving to do, or achieve. It can be only applied on personal interests, and the success or realization of them, can be effected by ones actions.
Hopes
Outlines, or specific aspects of a matter, wished, based on ones background, teachings and beliefs. Has nothing to do with, calculating chances or the aspect of reality. Only, ones grasp of reality.
Expectations
Outlines, or specific aspects of a matter that is about to happen, as described as the most possible outcome of things, by ones perception, of a given amount of information, affected by ones knowledge, and experience of the given subject, or situation.
Why people keep messing that up? These three barely have anything in-common, and can be applied on totally different things. It's like saying: "I don't believe in God", It's incorrect, and made-up by religious people, looking from a static point of view, that there is a God.
Let me explain. For example: I, Vitaly Bogdanov, don't believe in human-virtue. I don't state that there is none, but I do state, that I don't rely on it's existence. Therefor, the proper term for an atheist to use is: "I find the claim of existence of God, false and misleading"
But back to the topic. Many people these days, are verbally scolding me, for my opinions and stated arguments. I don't get it! If I don't say or do whatever you expect of me, then I'm wrong? If these are expectations, then you don't know me, and you should leave the conversation with respect (and earn my respect, by doing so), or shove them up-yours.
If these are goals, and by goals, I mean "an attempt to change me to your liking", then go grab a stick, walk to the forest, and hit the first bear you see, as hard as you can (to make it fair, find a bear of your own size). He won't be in a rush to learn, or accept your ways of wisdom. He will fight back.
If hopes, are speaking, know this:
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
2. Satisfaction
Satisfaction, is the feeling you have, after achieving a thing you wanted to, or needed to. It also happens to be the feeling when you get "a thing of your back. Got it right?
So, I was following a web page for a while now. It was funny, had a lot of jokes, and cool discussions. It's not easy to keep a page like that "alive", by a single person, but that "singe person", handled it well.
Lately, he has attracted a huge fan-base, and as we all know, most people, are dumb, and easy to satisfy. And that's what he did, baited by stupid pricks, and 17 year-old girls, with hes name written on their jail-bait breasts, and started slacking. I left the page, and had an argument with him, about the crap that he came to post lately, and that he had nothing original, for a long time. The argument that he threw at me, was "There is no profit, in wasting time, and working on OC (Original content)".
WTF? My friends don't pay me money for my company, and neither suck my dick, for it. Why do I enjoy having a regular, intelligent interaction, with a smaller group of people? Then, when I thought it through, I understood that satisfaction, can be measured by everything, as long as it has a moral price-tag attached to it, by the one satisfied. So basically, if I think of it, I confused my expectation, with goals, but I didn't. Because, instead of smacking the guy with the mighty stick of "ME", I explained to him my opinion on the matter, and showed examples. About a minute after that, I was notified, that he commented back, but when I tried to access the link, the conversation was already deleted by him. So...
Goals: Talk some sense in to hes thick skull.
Expectations: A lively argument, between two people.
Hopes: None. Already left the page.
Results: I don't know, but I think none. A guilty dog today, if a casual dog tomorrow.
Lesson:
Get your shit together, and hit the road. If you stick your thumb out, they might stop. But don't count on it.
Good Night.
