O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear-
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!

Most of the time, we place expectations on our friends and our loved ones. In exchange for the love, friendship, care and help that we give to them, we expect them to be nice to us, to do what we want them to do, and not to do what we do not want them to. In this way, our relationships are somewhat like business contracts, with a whole set of unwritten rules: "I will do this for you as long as you are nice to me; I will help you as long as you do what I want." This kind of love is called "conditional love" - love with strings attached.
- Ven. Sangye Khadro

This reaks of someone. But correction, what is practiced is 'niceities with strings attached'.

Fahy mentioned the poor elderly woman who was walloped by a group of teens for feeding stray cats. I wonder if her last thought was an expectation for the stray cats to hiss and spit at her assailants.

Conditional love. One expects.
