Expectation kills👐


 A boy was talking to a woman he never knew from no where, she is old and  pitiable. The boy was really ready to help her carry her loads to her house. You know normal stuffs. " seeing an elder and you have to carry his/ her loads," 
They talked for a while and the woman finally allowed him to carry the loads. The boy was very tired and hungry, which was actually the main reason for carrying that loads. 
The boy got to the old woman's destination and dropped the load. The woman thanked him until she was exhausted . He was thanking him and the boy could not move. He was still standing in front of her house. 
The woman looked at him and said; " child are you not going home?"
 The boy looked at her and couldn't state why he carried the load for her. The boy turned to live but came back and said; " mama! I carried this heavy load for you from that distant place to this place. You did not even offer me water or food." 
The woman looked at him and replied; " my child! Always do things for people effortlessly without expecting anything ". The boy was confused and helpless. The woman repeated again with different meaning ; "" do things with less expectations , because you will be disappointing while you are expecting to be paid in return."" The boy was really hurt at the end and left bitterly.
After so much thought by the boy, he went back to the woman and said; '' mama, I have heard all what you have said, but the truth is that, I only wanted food from you to eat , but it's alright if you give me nothing.'' The woman looked at this poor boy and ushered him in. She knew truly that he was hungry, and at the same time, he was expecting her to give him something in return.🔚
