GREAT EXPECTATIONS

What if we received a memo from on high that said that the future is cancelled?  What would happen to all the expectations we, our family, our friends, society have of us?

They would be gone in an instant, which is when we would see what a burden they have been for us, baggage that we have carried around with us for years.

We can jettison that baggage, without any memos, the way Buddhists do it.  They just do it.  Nothing is expected of Buddhists.
