Keyword fairness keyword expectations Life is unfair. Not all of the things you hope for in this world will happen. Even though some things are within your grasp, you won't always get those things. It is typical that things go wrong unexpectedly.
— from The Instruments (Awareness/Perception/Expectations)
In the book
You need not go to zero. But know that the world owes you nothing it promised, that much of what you hope for in this life you will not get, and that this is not a tragedy but simply the weather. And know this too, which took me a lifetime: every relationship you will ever have runs on an unspoken contract of expectations — what each of you silently assumes the other owes. — The Instruments (Awareness/Perception/Expectations)
