Expectations are an attempt to control the world, and they will eventually disappoint or destroy.
They're in the basket of things that need to be held lightly, along with identities and ideologies.

Oh man, there’s like a whole big section of Buddhist literature on the ‘isn’t calling yourself a Buddhist an attachment lol’ problem...I can’t remember any of the keywords or other hooks into it though...

Buddhism is a total nerdsnipe for spiritual types which is why we kicked it out of India. Nobody was getting anything done and people were debating these things with passive-aggressive gently compassionate smiles all day long.
Not that we got much done after either.

Hmm, my favourite brand of Buddhism fucks people up though...(Also manufactures *actual* magicians, not the metaphorical talented kind)
