It's easier to get along with people when you don't expect anything from them. It's easier to not be hurt or angry at them when you never expected them to act otherwise. 
I was thinking of that in regards to my latest drawings. In the Dog Rose drawing above t's easy to see that my own expectations were low. This was just play. I wasn't trying to create anything spectacular.

I set my expectations high for the Blue Hobbit drawing, however, and though it took more time, effort and energy. It turned out significantly better.
So, maybe that principle can be applied back to people. The people we have high expectations for, may make us hurt, angry, sad or upset when they let us down, but if we put the time, effort and energy into the relationships with them, they will end up ultimately better than those relationships with low expectations.
