' Expectations Cause Suffering '...

The real thing is that you are suffering from your expectations.

When they are not fulfilled - and they are never going to be fulfilled - frustration arises, failure arises, and you feel neglected, as if existence does not care for you.

Drop expectations for the future.

Remain open, remain available to whatsoever happens, but don't plan ahead.

Don't make any psychological, fixed ideas about the future - that things should be like this - and much more suffering will disappear.
