323. Expectation and attainment

Love is what we expect;
Hatred is what we get.

Concern is what we expect;
Indifference is what we get.

Union is what we expect;
Division is what we get.

Triumph is what we expect;
Defeat is what we get.

Transformation is what we expect;
Frustration is what we get.
