Reality can often be disappointing, but not in these things’ cases.
We are very familiar with reality turning out worse than we had planned or had in mind. That’s how it has always been, at least that’s what I have experienced. We tend to develop high hopes for every task we perform or anything we do every day and a majority of those tasks fail as my high hopes are just too high for the reality to go up and meet them.
For people whose expectations are never met by reality, when such a rare event occurs where they meet, they are over the moon. These people get confused when things exceed their expectations because they are not used to such events so they cherish it for a very long time. When you have built an expectation related to something and reality turns out to be something very different and positive from what you had expected for a very long time, you never forget such a thing.
Thanks to Reddit, there is an entire community that goes by the name ‘Expectations VS Reality. This subreddit is dedicated to things that beat people’s expectations. Today we are going enjoy some of those instances.
