Pretty much describes my mood at the moment. With that in mind let's imagine all the things that have been disappointing in our lives:
- Finding that the person you love does not love you back.
- That hot dog wasn't kosher (and your are an orthodox Jew).
- You failed your driver's test.
- You burned the popcorn in the microwave.
- The job went to someone else.
Obviously this is not a complete list, there are many disappointments in life. I have a feeling that these setbacks happen for a reason. Perhaps, losing the love of your life can open a door to find someone that is better for you. Maybe, that non-kosher hot dog will lead you to questioning your beliefs and widening your perspectives. That failed driver's test might push you to become a better driver which will obviously help you in the long run. That burned popcorn may prompt you to purchasing a more efficient microwave. Hopefully, that job really wasn't meant for you, and the poor sap who got it will hate it.
Disappointments also have their own individual weight for each person. Some find loss of love far less important than a dip in social status. Others expect little, therefore, are disappointed less.
People also deal with disappointment differently. Some immediately feel the pain. Others have to wait for it to settle in. Some people even store the pain and hold it underneath the surface as long as they can.
This may only be a superficial analysis of disappointment, but satisfactory for the moment. Au revoir
