Assumptions

We have to stop making so many assumptions. When we assume something, we tell ourselves it's a fact. It makes the assumption presumed correct and in effect will make it almost impossible to prove incorrect to us. We make so many assumptions every day. And in a way we have to. But the dangerous assumptions we make are about people. We assume someone was trying to slight us, ignore us, be rude to us. Those are very un-nuanced assumptions. Instead we should assume the person was distracted, busy or having a really bad day. But we instead choose to assume it was personal or someone is categorically a bad person. These assumption leave no room for fact or nuance. So it's best to stop assuming about people. It's better to assume the best and if the worst is reality, then it's not our problem to deal with.
