see that you have your own expectations and ideas of how things should be. You are afraid to receive life with open arms. Can you put conditions on how the weather should be tomorrow? No! Then why do you put conditions on how the 'weather' at home, the mood of your wife or child, should be?
Understand, there are two things that we can do. One is collecting the data, making the argument, and making a judgment. The second is forming a jdgment and then collecting arguments to support that judgement.
Most of the time we have already formed the judgment and then we pay attention only to those incidents that support our judgment.
For example, you have formed an opinion of your husband or wife. By now you know what your husband will say if you ask him to come shopping with you. By now you know what your wife will say if you ask her to join you in watching the Sunday football match. Based on just these few incidents, you would have made so many more judgements about them.
You don't credit him or her to have an intelligence that gets updated from every moment of life. The problem is, you don't even credit yourself with having that natural intelligence. That is why you can't believe others can become updated.
