Lowering Expectations

From an exchange on Facebook. Sounds pretty good so I post it here.

Don't expect kids to go to Harvard. got it.

Don't expect health care reform. bummer.

Don't expect human species to last until the sun burns out. not an immediate bummer but sad.

Don't expect your god to actually exist. oooooo, that hurts.

Ecclesiastes: All is vanity. Lower your expectations.

Jesus: Parable of the sower says on average only 25% of your plans will work out (seeds sprout).
