Expectations are at war, if good feeling and discomfort clash. When we are expecting zest and joy, our good karma may be ousted by distress and frustration, if negative downbeat waves are emitted.

They say: misfortunes, sufferings..well, if someone said to me right now, this minute: do you want to remain the way you were before captivity, or live through it all over again?
