"期待を低く保つほど、人生がずっと楽になることに気づいた。"
— Bill Watterson
Simplified Meaning:
When we don't expect too much from people or situations, we are less likely to feel disappointed if things don't go as planned. For example, imagine you're planning a picnic and you hope for perfect weather, delicious food, and everyone having a great time. If it rains, the sandwiches aren't good, or someone is unhappy, you'd feel let down because your expectations were high. But if you go into the picnic just hoping to spend some time outdoors, then anything more, like a bit of sunshine or a pleasant conversation, feels like a bonus. This way, you're happier with whatever happens because you weren't expecting too much. This approach can help reduce stress and make life's ups and downs easier to handle. So, by keeping expectations low, we can enjoy more and worry less.
