Is it wrong to expect?  Trying to live without expectation is proving to be difficult, and is it really something that is worthwhile, something for which I should be seeking?  Or is it another way to indulge in fear.  If I don't expect of others, I won't be disappointed.  Am I really just afraid of the discomfort and pain of disappointemt?  Am I really just afraid that by expecting, I could feel anger when my expectations are not met?  I know that whatever expectations I have must be tempered in reality and not overly selfish.  Perhaps that is what I shoulf strive for instead of having no expectations, hopes or dreams.
