Disappointment is a part of everyday life, and we all feel it when we have an experience that doesn’t meet our expectations, or when we don’t meet someone else’s expectation of us.
Any strong emotion that stirs inside us creates energy that needs to be directed somewhere, and such is the case with disappointment. “Disappointment” is a loaded word and emotion.
