Disappointment

Have you ever been disappointed? I am almost certain that everyone has been disappointed at least one time in their life -- even Jesus was. Disappointment can be very hurtful and negative. I personally have been disappointed many times throughout my life in my marks, efforts, friends sometimes my parents and teachers but I have overcome them and become a stronger individual. The worst type of disappointment occurs from the people who you love but these ones only build up your character and get you ready for the real world. Many others have been disappointment but react wrongly by allowing it to bring down their self esteem. This can even lead to suicide attempts. Disappointment is helpful in life because it teaches people life lessons that we wouldn’t learn without them. But being disappointed by a loved one can really hurt; for example, when your parents tell you they will do something for you and they don’t, or when your friends promise to have your back or not snitch, or when you hear things they have said about you, you feel heartbroken and wonder to yourself why you bother trying to care. Disappointment by loved ones forces you to seek someone who you can trust, breaks your trust towards others and leaves people feeling paranoid. Imagine not being able to trust your own mother or father. Even though disappointment teaches you these life lessons and can make you strong no one wants to be disappointed. It is not what God intended. Wouldn’t you like to live a life without disappointment? Do you know what I’m talking about? Let’s hear your stories. Post your comments below.
