Why Do We Feel Disappointed? The Role of Hope, Expectations, and Reality

Grasping the complexities of the mind is challenging. At times, it races forward with the swiftness of a deer, while at other moments, it slows down, resembling a lethargic tortoise. This duality reflects the unpredictable nature of our thoughts and emotions, making self-understanding a nuanced journey.

This is the whirlpool of despair.’
