Thoughts

I got this from Wikipedia:

"Disappointment is the emotion felt when an expectation of something positive desired is not met. Disappointment can also occur when a desired outcome is not met, even if it was not fully expected. In economics, researchers have hypothesized that individuals take into account the possibility of experiencing feelings of disappointment and/or regret when making decisions. Researchers typically assume that disappointment is proportional to the difference in utility between the expected and actual outcomes. It has also been found that increased effort to ensure a postive outcome results in increased disappointment if that outcome is not achieved."

And that explains...the higher your hopes are, the bigger your disappointment will be. I guess...I did have hopes after all.
