Disappointment

If there is one emotion which is overwhelming yet inspirational, it is Disappointment.

Disappointment is something you experience when you feel let down. And the emotion is more profound when the experience is sudden and unexpected. The moment of being let down is a jump of a cliff.

The mind goes numb at this moment. It starts calculating the things which you did or did not to warrant this situation. 

Disappointment, after all, is that snow storm which comes in a whiff !

It can be summarised by the below line.

“Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.” 

~~ Eric Hoffer

However, more importantly, it will be important to remember the beautiful line below.

“Disappointment to a noble soul is what cold water is to burning metal; it strengthens, tempers, intensifies, but never destroys it.” 

~~ Eliza Tabor Stephenson
