Ups & Downs

  We place faith in many things and many people everyday without the first clue we do. Be it from an unrealistic expectation, miscalculation, or wrong interpretation... sooner or later we can be left down. Sometimes it is the fault of the one being observed, sometimes it's the observer's fault. The amount of faith we place is equal to the amount of expectation, and sometimes the expectations can be a little unrealistic. All that equals the drop we experience of feeling like someone or something has let us down. So one has to ask one's self if the expectation was a bit high. Sometimes it is the one that falters. It's totally normal to feel a low when this happens and totally normal to have high marks of expectations in someone we have a lot of faith in. There are times though when we place faith wrongly.

  It's also normal that the one who falters becomes upset with the one who loses faith in them. Be that anger or sadness, they are normal expressions. Thing is, will that destroy the faith one has lost from another, only time will tell. Both sides look for excuses or reasons why each feels the way they do, yet only true people worthy of faith will ration it out. No matter if the bar was set high or low, faith goes down a notch and must be rebuilt once again from the ground up. Either that or forgotten altogether. Perhaps too much faith was exercised. Perhaps too little effort was given.

  On both fronts ups and downs are experienced, unless one is a psycho or has given up. There are those who feel nothing, and most aren't even aware of it. Either way, our actions effect not one but at least two different people and their lives. Like it or not, all have a profound impact on another, and a chain reaction is always present. And this is why I say what we do matters, not in a hundred years, but it does now.
