SUKH - DUKH
ACTION LEADS TO EXPECTATIONS
Every action that we perform in our day to day life creates a set of expectations within us.
Family
Friends
Corporate
etc
EXPECTATIONS ARE NOT PURELY DEPENDENT ON MY ACTIONS
The level of expectation is dependent upon my:
o own personal circumstances
o views on particular topic
o ideology
o interpretation and perception - state of mind
Same activity conducted by two people separately will create totally different level of

solve all his issues.
