Sometimes I dread picking up the phone when I am in the middle of mapping out plans and number crunching. It tends to be real and suffocating to deal with. Aspects that are out of my desire to take care of. More responsibility heaped on my shoulders in a certain job that was lightening up, giving me more time to pursue other interests.
Right now I am searching the world over, visualizing the present, and measuring up places I've never been with a future they need to have. Of course, it's my selfish desire to saturate this world with my ideas and make people dance my tune, but relying on them to make the right decisions anymore is like expecting the dog to stand up and make me breakfast. It's just not going to happen!

Honestly, I find it easier to have less and low expectations. I think it's much better doing what we can to improve the reality of the situation and just be aware that life throws you a curve ball, sometimes.

@OneOfMany Not necessarily. Having low expectations doesn't mean not having hope at all. They're two different things because with expectations you don't allow any room for things to turn out negatively or even differently. That's how I see it.

@cahaya1983 You are approaching things safely, I like the risk of disappointment if the reward of great satisfaction is at the other end. I don't work hard for hopes, I work hard for goals. :)

@OneOfMany I'm not much of a risk-taker, but I don't see hopes and goals as totally unrelated. In fact I think it's a drive and motivation to achieve your goals. I mean, you don't set goals if you don't hope that someday you'll achieve them, right?

I'm not sure I completely understanding what this means?

Specifics would help. Just not sure what the agenda is, if it is serious or what the post is reflecting on. Could be I'm just not getting it.

@OneOfMany If a writer was to compose a story of fantasy (like online interaction) might come up with one of a island kingdom where the wise men predicted a great flooding and the wise men were never wrong.
Still in the rest of the novel great things occurred along with the fulfillment of ocean's movements and the peoples fate. We write the stories and the endings will take care of themselves.
Who knows a sequel?

In this moment I was doing water measurements and going island hopping trying to get a bead on the volume of the first foot of the ocean, looking into the different slopes on different islands, going along continents where the slope is a sharp drop off and just getting a basic idea of present measurements. The future they need to have is one where that water isn't getting any higher. A rise of an inch in a steep land area is nothing, but a gentle slope it can mean a drastic reduction of surface area, especially when storms come.

@Bluedoll The sequel is the unnamed one comes and lowers the oceans, giving people a chance to reclaim the lands in generations time.
