Pardon me for putting on the guise of Nostradamus because a prophet never really gets appreciation except in the movies...but... yer philosophy is a recipe for disaster.
There's a lot of 'caregivers' and 'helper' types in the world whose primary motivation is 'to be appreciated', 'to be validated'. Here's a guy named "aka TWIZTED" and you can't become his friend fast enough...! First, you start out trying to change him. Did you ever think maybe he IS twizted? And that even serial killers have a wonderful disposition when they're marketing? And that you could easily get what you don't expect?
Where does this 'you get what you expect' nonsense come from anyhow? Isn't that the song of the underappreciated? Didn't you expect to keep those 20lbs off when you started the South Beach diet? Didn't ex-spouses expect their marriage to last beyond 5 years? Didn't nine-tenths of all business owners expect their business to be successful?
> Ask and you shall receive.
This is a spiritual medicine and it isn't meant to ask for casual friendships. And it's between the asker and something higher. First a person has to know not what he wants, but what he needs. And then he as to will himself to want only that..and THEN he can ask.

You won't reap what I'm saying to you because it doesn't fit into your 'you get what you expect' and 'ask and ye shall receive' philosophy. Or did you expect this? Or maybe you asked for this and I missed it?

Wait a minute.
Maybe you are right?
Catch-22?
Sam
ps. Positive feedback not welcome. ;-P
