Disappointment

Hi, everybody: Here I am trying to write another blog. This time I´m going to write about disappointment, because this is the theme I´m going to talk about tomorrow with the women who comes home. I´m going to try to translate it as better as I can, now I see it´s not so easy being a translator. Ok, it says this:

How many times we read in the newspaper: "A young man murderer his girlfriend because of a love disappointment" or "A father kills himself due to an economic disappointment"?

It had been said that disappointment is a social illness of our times. Which are some of your disappointments? How do you handle them? What if you feel disappointed with God? or with your church? Let´s learn a little bit about this.

CAUSES OF DISAPPOINTMENT

1. Not realistic or very high expectations: There are lots of histories about people who got married with very high expectations of how their marriage will be a continuous happiness.

A job or a career: If we don´t have realistic expectations in these areas, we can experiment a disappointment.

2. The television creates a false personal image: We see the hero always happy, with an exciting

life every moment. And our lives seem to be very bored. Then we feed disappointed with life in general. Another way in which the television provokes disappointment is with women, because it makes them feel physically inferior than the actresses or models with bodies apparently perfect and with a romantic life always.

3. Being focused in things or in people instead of being focused in God. We live in a materialistic world that tells us "Happiness is...having your own house, get married, buy such a brand of clothes, having a career, having children, travel, etc." The result of this mentality is the disappointment.

WRONG WAYS TO TREAT WITH DISAPPOINTMENTS

1. Cynicism, bitterness: Have you ever known someone who is still talking about a loss of 20 years ago? It may be a boyfriend, a job, someone who died or something like that?

2. To decide that we are unsuccessful and to live all our lives defeated.

For example a woman who has not been taken in account for a pay raise, she decides she will never will be taken in account and instead of doing her best, she becomes with no interest on what she does.

3. Alcohol, drugs, or think on suicide.

Ok, I'm going to stop here. On the next blog will continue with the answer to this "How to avoid some disappointments." Hope I didn´t bore you with this, but it helps me to practice with the computer and also with the translation and English of course. See you on Monday have a nice weekend.
