People are besotted by assumptions. Isn't it silly how we fabricate our own lives with baseless, unreal, rather ostentatious assumptions regarding ourselves and people we fancy or loathe?
Man has, since the beginning of time, been a victim of his own assumptions. Assuming and then building his life upon and around it is a vice that people seldom believe they are attributed with. It takes courage to accept life as it is, and to look at incidents and events as they occur without assuming or exaggerating them.
I've seen people build their whole lives on assumptions and also seen it cripple down ruthlessly. There are times a person finds life excruciating, and fails to understand why things didn't turn out the way they should've but it's stupid and very naïve to believe that rectifications can be made through countless assumptions.
Most fights, misunderstandings and troubles are caused by assumptions. Different people assuming different things silently and then acting upon it, on their own convenience, refusing to look at a situation without it. A lot of misery in the world can end if only people just stopped assuming.
A woman, many say have legitimate reason to assume since they have intuition that more than half the time comes true, but it’s a very tricky business, because you never know when hormones and emotions intervene, spinning an innocent assumption into a grotesque, harsh pseudo reality. Men assume because of their inflated, easily bruised ego. Isn't it easy to just manipulate situations through assumptions than get a blow on The Ego?
If only people could realize the magnanimity of their stupidity, they might just be able to save themselves and others from a lot of unwanted trouble. Some do, but then it's too late.
