It is true you can become disappointed for the right reasons, as well as for the wrong reasons. How do you become disappointed? It all sets in after someone doesn't reach an expected standard, for teenagers this disappointment is usually derived from their academic performances, choice os friends of activities they choose to partake in, for young adults, your family may see you as a disappointment because of your career choice or relationship decisions - maybe you've chosen the wrong partner (in their opinion), it can also exist in the same said relationship, your partner may not be doing everything you have expected him to. Then, you can be disappointed with yourselves. Really... who is to say the standards expected are the standards you need to meet? Are standards not set from people's own misconceptions or actuality of their state or standard? What if their "standards" have no moral standing? What if those so called "standards" are beneath all that I can achieve? What if I am more prone to excel in my own way on my own standards? I stand on my opinion the emotional side of this all is to be blamed, that is what pushes one to be truly disappointed, because you care - you hurt- and because you were never expecting that hurt - you're disappointed. A reserved person will always smile through disappointments. Humility enlightens us that we are all human, and at some point we will make mistakes, and should not hold it against our own.
