Every role comes with responsibility & expectations. Sometimes we may be playing the responsibility well however we may not be able to live to expectations. But can we ever control the expectations of others? This can sometimes introduce guilt & remorse & make us feel unhappy.
Living up to the expectations of parents is probably the biggest trap for most children. It makes everyone unhappy.
Similarly living up to the expectations of your spouse can be another trap too. Probably why the institution of marriage is unable to withstand the test of the current times with divorce rates increasing steadily.
Other professional roles may not have as much at stake at least from the personal point of view.
Becoming a good human being is probably the toughest role followed by being a good citizen. Good friends are tough to find in the world today too.
Sometimes the role of grandchildren can also be tough to perform especially when they have expectations of you
