Expectations Hurt

Every relationship comes with a package of expectations and when it is not fulfilled, the relationship gets strained. In extreme cases, even parents begin to detest their offsprings when they do not fulfil none of their parental expectations..when they do not complement their parents love in anyway.
So, are relationships too, a form of transaction?
Even the best of friendship is a ' Give and Take' affair. The concept of ' Unconditional Love' largely remains a myth. The word 'I' is the epicentre of all our activities and we live in the pursuit of fulfilling its wishes. Then, are'nt we all 'self-centred' or 'I-centric' people?
Can expectations be seperated from our love, admiration, enamour and adoration for another person?
Is it possible for one to shower all the love to his near ones without expecting a bit in return?
My answer is,'Its difficult but not impossible.....possible at the greatest depth of your feeling and emotion' and the more we are able to do that the less we will hurt ourselves.
