expectations (demands) that we hold for the actions of others.
We "know" that there is a right way to do things,

Usually, we are unaware that we merely
have a strong opinion and point-of-view,
and are sure that we know how everything is supposed to be.

The success of love is in the loving -

is the noble way to live.

The only way to store information is by agreement.
The belief system is like a Book of Law that rules our mind.

but we cannot accept and love ourselves.
