"Expect nothing and you will never be disappointed." You've probably heard this saying?
When we live with hope, it motivates us to move forward and never give up. But when our hopes are tied to other people, we risk being disappointed. After all, we do not control these things. They do not depend directly on us.
What is our mistake?
We want others to love us the way we love. We hope all our dreams come true. We expect from others the same reaction that we would have. In short, we want others to feel the same way we feel. But it will never be like that. And when this doesn't happen, we feel like our world is collapsing.
Just because people don't do what we expect them to do doesn't mean they are bad. Sometimes people cannot meet our expectations (due to their capabilities). Or they simply cannot respond the way we want them to.
Accepting this as a fact will allow us to better adapt to our environment.
Why is it better not to expect anything from others?
When something unexpected happens, we will be pleasantly surprised. Remember the last time you were happy when someone did something nice to you for no reason. Such spontaneous things make us happy.
Here are 6 things
which you should never expect from others:
Don't expect others to always agree with you
Your opinions and beliefs are shaped by your upbringing and personal experiences. It is different for each person. Therefore, it is foolish to expect that others should have the same opinion as you. We don't have to understand each other and agree on everything. This is not the purpose of our life.
Don't expect others to respect you more than you respect yourself.
Loving ourselves is the first step to getting others to love us. Why should others respect you if you don't respect yourself? Let's start appreciating ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses. And then others will do it.
Don't expect others to love you
The idea that everyone around you will like you is utopian. No one is obligated to love anyone. You are the most important person in your life. And you are the only one who can make you happy.
Don't expect others to be what you want them to be.
We can't change people. And they can't change you. We cannot control what others think, believe, do or say. There are few options for what to do about it. You either accept others as they are, decide to change yourself, or allow everyone to go their own way.
Don't expect others to know what you're thinking.
Our logic and our way of thinking are unique and individual. Therefore, it is important to clearly express what we want, because others may not be aware of it.
No privacy, no property: the world in 2030
Individual freedom is again under threat. What may lie ahead was described in November 2021, when the WEF published its forecast.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) was founded fifty years ago. It has gained increasing prominence over the decades and has become one of the leading platforms for futuristic thinking and planning. As a meeting place for the world's elite, the WEF brings together business and political leaders, as well as a select few intellectuals. The main focus of the forum is global control. The highest values are not free markets and individual choice, but state interventionism and collectivism. According to World Economic Forum forecasts and scenarios, individual freedom and private property will disappear from this planet by 2030.
Eight Predictions
Individual freedom is again under threat. What may lie ahead was outlined in November 2021 when the WEF published “8 Predictions for the World in 2030.” According to the WEF scenario, the world will be a completely different place from now on because there will be profound changes in the way people work and live. The 2030 world scenario is more than just a forecast. It's a plan that has accelerated dramatically since the announcement of the pandemic and the lockdowns that followed.
According to the WEF's Global Future Council, private property and privacy will be abolished within the next decade. The coming expropriation will go further than even the communist demand to abolish ownership of the means of production, but leave room for personal property. According to the WEF forecast, consumer goods will also cease to be private property.
If the WEF's forecast comes true, people will have to rent and borrow from the government, which will be the sole owner of all goods. The supply of goods will be rationed according to the social credit points system. Shopping in the traditional sense will disappear along with private purchases of goods. Every personal step will be tracked electronically, and all production will comply with clean energy and sustainable environmental requirements.
To achieve "sustainable agriculture", food products will be mainly vegetarian. In a new totalitarian service economy, the government would provide basic housing, food, and transportation, and the rest would need to be borrowed from the government. The use of natural resources will be kept to a minimum. In collaboration with several key countries, the global agency will set prices on CO2 emissions at extremely high levels to discourage their use.
In a promotional video, the World Economic Forum summarizes the eight forecasts in the following statements:
• People will not own anything. Goods are either free or must be leased from the government.
• The United States will no longer be the leading superpower, but a few countries will dominate.
• Organs will not be transplanted, but printed.
• Meat consumption will be kept to a minimum.
• There will be a massive displacement of people with billions of refugees.
• To limit carbon dioxide emissions, the world price will be set at an exorbitant level.
• People will be ready to fly to Mars and begin the search for alien life.
• Western values will be seriously tested.
Beyond privacy and property
In a publication for the World Economic Forum, Danish environmental activist Ida Auken, who served as her country's environment minister from 2011 to 2014 and is still a member of the Danish parliament (Folketing), developed a scenario for a world without privacy or property. In “Welcome to 2030,” she imagines a world in which “I own nothing, I have no privacy, and life has never been better.” By 2030, according to her scenario, shopping and ownership will become obsolete because everything that was once a product is now a service.
In this idyllic new world of hers, people have easy access to transportation, housing, food, “and everything we need in everyday life.” Since these things will become free, "ultimately it doesn't make sense for us to own much." The houses will not be privately owned and no one will pay rent "because someone else is using our free space when we don't need it." For example, a person's living room will be used for business meetings when he is away. Problems such as “lifestyle diseases, climate change, refugee crisis, environmental degradation, completely congested cities, water pollution, air pollution, social unrest and unemployment” are a thing of the past. The author predicts that people will be happy to enjoy such a good life, which is much better "than the path we were on when it became so clear that we could not continue the same pattern of growth."
Ecological paradise
In her 2021 report to the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the Global Future Council, Ida Auken predicts what the world might look like in the future "if we win the war on climate change." By 2030, when CO2 emissions are significantly reduced, people will live in a world where meat on the dinner plate will “become rare” and water and air will be much cleaner than today. Due to the shift from purchasing goods to using services, the need for money will disappear because people will spend less and less on goods. Working hours will be reduced and free time will increase.
In the future, Auken envisions a city in which electric vehicles replace conventional combustion vehicles. Most roads and parking areas will be turned into green parks and pedestrian areas. By 2030, agriculture will offer mostly plant-based food alternatives instead of meat and dairy. The use of land for animal feed production will be greatly reduced and nature will once again spread throughout the world.
Falsifying Social Consent
How to get people to accept such a system? The lure to seduce the masses is guarantees of universal healthcare and a guaranteed basic income. Proponents of the Great Reset promise a world without disease. Thanks to biotechnological organs and personalized treatments based on genetics, it is believed that dramatic increases in life expectancy and even immortality are possible. Artificial intelligence will eradicate death and eliminate disease and mortality. Biotech companies will strive to find the key to eternal life.
Along with the promise of transforming any ordinary person into a divine superman, the promise of a “guaranteed basic income” is quite attractive, especially for those who will no longer find work in the new digital economy. Receiving a basic income without having to do repetitive work or the shame of applying for social assistance is used as a lure to gain support for the poor.
To make it economically viable, a basic income guarantee would require equalizing the wage gap. Technical procedures for transferring money from the government will be used to promote a cashless society. If all monetary transactions are digitized, every single purchase will be recorded. As a consequence, government agencies will have unlimited ability to monitor in detail how individuals spend their money. A universal basic income in a cashless society would provide the conditions for the introduction of a social credit system and provide a mechanism for punishing undesirable behavior and identifying unnecessary and undesirable behavior.
Who will be the rulers?
The World Economic Forum is silent on who will rule in this new world.
There is no reason to expect that the new rulers will be benevolent. And yet, even if the top leaders of the new world government were not scoundrels, but simply technocrats, for what reason would the administrative technocracy have to fight the “undesirables”? What is the point of the technocratic elite turning an ordinary person into a superman? Why share the benefits of artificial intelligence with the masses and not leave the wealth for a select few?
A sober assessment of these plans must lead to the conclusion that in this new world there will be no place for the common man and that he will be forced into retirement along with the “incapacitated,” the “feeble-minded,” and the “ill-mannered.” Behind the preaching of a progressive gospel of social justice by proponents of the Great Reset and the establishment of a new world order lies the sinister project of eugenics, now called “genetic engineering” and as a movement “transhumanism,” a term coined by Julian Huxley, the first director of UNESCO.
The promoters of the project are silent about who will be the ruler in this new world. The dystopian and collectivist nature of these predictions and plans is a result of the rejection of free capitalism. Creating a better world through dictatorship is a contradiction in terms. More economic prosperity, not less, is the answer to current problems. Therefore, we need more free markets and less government planning. The world is becoming greener and the world population growth rate is already declining. These trends are a natural consequence of wealth creation through free markets.
Conclusion
The World Economic Forum and its associated institutions, in conjunction with several governments and several high-tech companies, want to usher the world into a new era without property and privacy. At stake are values such as individualism, freedom and the pursuit of happiness, which must be rejected in favor of collectivism and the imposition of a “common good” defined by a self-proclaimed elite of technocrats. What is offered to the public as a promise of equality and environmental sustainability is in fact a cruel attack on human dignity and freedom. Instead of using new technologies as a tool for improvement, the Great Reset seeks to use technological capabilities as a tool for enslavement. In this new world order, the state is the sole owner of everything. It is left to our imagination to figure out who will program the algorithms that control the distribution of goods and services.
