Oh! What an unpleasant surprise

How does uncertainty play a role in making people happy? Or for that matter why do people love being surprised? The mere realization of having or being treated with something beyond imagination or expectation is no doubt a magical feeling. But what if things turn up exactly contrary?

This is when you are wanting a surprise to come up, to cheer yourself up, to enliven your mood. But alas it never happens. You keep waiting for that moment to happen till the last hope isn't swallowed within. Why is it so?

Then is when you wish surprises never existed! You start blaming the fate or the time or the circumstances which bluffed you at the last moment. And then you start wondering why did you even want the surprise to happen. Why was it a surprise at the first place? It was an inner desire for something which you badly wanted to happen but at the same time you wanted it to be overruled with an element of uncertainty. You knew chances of it happening were very low but still you wanted it to happen out of sheer avidity. Its a game in which heart takes over and lets you feel more than expected. This is when you want to leave it to the other end and want things coming up your stride as desired by you, from the other end, but oh! not as planned mate. You want it to come, marvel you, so that you are taken by awe. But alas it turns out opposite in the end.

This is how time and fate play with our emotions. This is how situations are crafted to hurt and make people realize their folly. This is how surprises turn unpleasant.
