"An expectation is a future object, recognised as belonging to me"

- Samuel Alexander

About this Quote

In this quote, Samuel Alexander suggests that an assumption is a principle that connects to the future as well as is directly associated with oneself. It suggests that this future object is not outdoors of oneself, however instead it is totally intertwined with the individual's feeling of self. It suggests that our expectations are driven by individual wishes as well as desires that we relate to on a deep level, and hold a feeling of ownership over. In addition, this idea recommends that assumptions are not an easy experience, however instead they entail a mindful recognition of a future state or occasion that we expect to happen.
