Hope is something that you want but may or may not get it. An expectation is something that you have garanteed yourself.

That’s a good question.
I honestly don’t know… but I’m guessing that hope is more like an emotion, the BELIEF in a positive outcome. While expectation… is more like something that you think will most likely happen.

What you hope for is what you want but it might not be what you think will happen. When you expect something you’re pretty sure that it will happen, it can be a good thing or bad thing.

To hope is natural and healthy. To expect is to put yourself in a place where your heart may be broken.

okay i got what you guys want to say…
but keeping expectations sometime hurts.. i mean like i expect her to call me but she doesnt.. so from few days i am trying not to expect things from people. but in everyday life i m not able to separate hope and expectations . can u give some ideas to live witout expectations or expect less….though without expecting is quiet difficult to live..

If you go through life expecting everything, you will often find yourself disappointed and sad. If you go through life hoping for the best, you will often find yourself pleasantly surprised and grateful.

Girls that only come around when your not thinking about them are not good for you.

I think an expectation is when you try to control circumstances. Hope is when you believe that good things will happen. But you define what ‘good’ is.

I’m sorry I meant to say that you DON’T define what ‘good’ is. :)
