Happy to learn insights about why does one look weak and pale?

[@shahuni]

I like the rather simple Buddhist definition that "Expectation is the cause of all misery"
One expects something from something that they have no control over and then get sad when it does not happen as they wished.

[@NeelkanthMehta]

[@deuspitr684]

In Bhagwat Geeta it is mentioned as Expectations lead to misery in this materialistic world & detachment is the only solution .
