Assumptions are the mother of all mistakes. When we falsely assume something, it creates a trap for us every time. Assumptions can result in us losing things we wanted, doing extra work, and appearing inconsiderate to others. Often, we assume the worst of someone when we are mistaken. For example, we could assume they intentionally did something to harm us when in actuality it was just an honest mistake they made. What’s worse, we could end up not speaking to this person ever again. It could be someone we love; someone we’ve lost because of one harmful thought.
Never jump to conclusions when dealing with people. Always reserve judgment until you are absolutely sure about a situation and know the whole story. Never judge people over hearsay either. Words have a way of getting re-arranged the more they are tossed around. Keep an open, skeptical mind about all you see and hear. Believe in nothing, for your beliefs are what create the firmest assumptions of all.
