Most of our disappointments come from our very self, for we are not sufficiently capable of seeing things optimistically.
Suppose we are disappointed with a friendship. At first we thought it was sincere and free of self- seeking, but when we discovered it was affected by a grain of selfishness.
But is not friendship a source of joy for us? Is it not a fragrant flower blooming in the midst of our life?
Let us then preserve it as a relief against loneliness and let us close an eye to its little deficiencies.
Sometimes we are disappointed over a love affair and our heart is at break point. But if lover has revealed itself to us as merely a source of sorrow, is it not better to have given it up?
The word disappointment should be more fittingly substituted by the word weakness.

its a good point.. but when it comes to love, is it not the mere hope of eternity that drives us to never give up? true, most of our disappointments are due to our expectations out of something. that is a weakness
