Question: Is life what you expected!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Life is what I dreamed, what I prayed for, and life is what I hoped!.

I think somehow you are setting yourself up for a fall if you expect life to turn out a certain way!. It never does!. There are so many twists and turns, 'expectations' are so limiting!. So much more good stuff happens beyond what you ever expected!.
Dreaming, backed up with a lot of hard work, prayer and hope make a whole more sense to me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nope!. When I was a kid I expected things to be understandable, and I expected them to be fair!. I was a very idealistic kid, and I still am that way a little bit!.

But in this world, all is not as it appears!. "Here, dreams are bought and sold for a price!." The world is a superficial place and all meaning is subtly hidden and elusive; you pay for every morsel!. The whole concept of fairness turned out to be kind of a joke, actually!.!.!. I can almost laugh about it!.

This isn't so bad -- I'm up to the challenge, and it's a heck of a lot more interesting and ultimately satisfying than it would have been if it had been what I grew up expecting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a trick question!. Is it what I expected Yes, Was it what I expected sure, Can it still be, no!.

My expectations was 6!.6 Billion people on a planet, each divided into small groups, and each group would give me a map and point to where to go for what ever I needed!. Now the twist is I could askk all of the groups and all of the 6!.6 Billion peoples, and they would all point to something different!.!.

Life is what it is!. What I make of it is what I do!. It is no dissappointment for me!. ITs a dissapointment to those who make their own problems!. Life isn't what that elementry, middleschool, or even highschool teacher said it would be!. It was more for me, and more for other, but it was less for many more!. My standards, I scrapped them!. Grab it by the damn horns or push it to the side!. Life is a vehicle now its up to you to choose your ride!.

Yes I did rhyme that last bit, but it makes sense!. IT was something to expect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes and no!. I remember when i was young wondering how it could have been that there were kings that had tons of peasants and sent them all to war for themselves!. and lots of other things about history i couldn't understand!.

but then i got older and i understood!.

plus there were lots of untruths i was taught as a child and in that way it wasn't what i expected!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i guess i never had any expecations, i was just living day by day and never looking for what i might have in the future!.!.!.what i've lived would never be what i would've expected any day!.!.!.even if you asked me yesterday if what i've lived today was expected, i would've said no!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I expected more fanfare, a parade or two, perhaps a theme song to follow me wherever I go!.

More mindless sex would have been nice!.

Oh, yes!. And not as much in the way of aches and pains!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am not sure what I expected before I was born!.
I can say that life has nothing to do with what the public school system and higher education told me it was going to be like!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I remember pondering this question a just 4 months of conception !. Believing I was about to go where no one has gone before !. An POP I'm getting my bottom spanked !. Ouch what a world !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Actually I always believed I would be dead by the time I was 29 !.Now that it has passed I guess every day is a bonus!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
