Expectation postponed is making the heart sick. You expected this system to end many years ago. It keeps going on and on and on and now your heart is sick, and the religions teachings are really to blame because they have been building expectation and it is always postponed. You just need a break from the constant reminders of soon this system will end.
I wouldn't mind saying something like this to family or elders because for one it is a bible principle, and second it highlights the religon's error in building false hope and expectation. But like has been said, it is hard to beat those expressions like discouraged, stumbled, waiting on Jehovah.
