The Cycle

Expectation gives birth to selection, 

Selection triggers a blind bias , 

Bias gives birth to opacity in sight,

Opacity begets doubts of all forms ,

Doubt leads to fragility ,

Fragility leads to destruction ,

Destruction leads to ashes ,

Ashes incubate the Phoenix,

The Phoenix ignites the expectation again.

[The dark story]

very thought provoking. expectations sometimes brings disappointment with them. sometimes its just dependent to the fate and sometimes because of our actions. yet another expectation rises within us the moment the former dies...human nature!!

loved the way you have penned it. thanks for sharing.

You have created a new circle of life in this brilliant write. So much to ponder here. Expectations...difficult to live without them, but they do lead us down a dangerous path. No doubt about it. I'll be thinking about this one a while. Lydi**

[Anand Sehgal]

Is the path always dangerous ? Isn't that adventurous too ?

[Lydia Shutter]

But of course it is....and adventure can be a healthy thing.

[Easterlily]

Very clever....I can tell you put some thought into this, and it really paid off....well done!

[Anand Sehgal]

Thank you so much Dear, I am glad you liked it :)

This gives new meaning to the saying "To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction"
I especially liked your analogy of fragility. I never looked at it as being such a negative thing...destruction?
And then you use the example of a phoenix...must we fall so hard to find rebirth in our decision making?

[Anand Sehgal]

All the mundanes are ephemeral and fragile. Just the time alone is the eternal one. :)

[Blue Ivory]
