Hihihihiโฆ.
What is it with us and assuming?
Likeโฆ.we assume more times than we can countโฆ.
Right?
Or, is it just me and assumptions?
Assumptions – Good or Bad; Checked or Unchecked?

It is always as simple as asking a question
Or may be, it is not that simple as I say it is, hereโฆ.i donโt know!
Is that the reason why assuming is a much easier option?
may be, it is…I mean
Assumptions – Good or Bad; Checked or Unchecked?
When we assume,
Why do we always make โsweepingโ or โblanketโ statements?
These statements make it sound like every one of us, is inside this small box you have forced us into.

As you make your assumptions,
How do you usually feel?
What state of mind are you usually in, as you do all this, I ask?
Assumptions – Good or Bad; Checked or Unchecked?
For now, I’ll say bad!
As time has come by and gone,
I have occasionally been the type that makes such over-generalization about anything and everything, literally.
I will not deny that.
Now, in this day and age, I kind of feel awful about it and work so much to ensure I never communicate that way, ever again.
That is because I say them all plainly and sometimes, too candidlyโฆlike I actually recognize and know what I am talking about.
For example, all bald headed people are dangerous people to be around!

This inquiry of mine should not discourage you from making your own assumptionsโฆ
Quite contrary, it should help you encompass every aspect of this life as much as you can, in all the statements and communications that you make.
Is that something simple to do?
It is not, to be very honest with you.
But, can we try it out?
Assumptions – Good or Bad; Checked or Unchecked?
Yes, we canโฆ.
I don’t like and if you have any assumptions, I recommend confirming it otherwise, it might be bad. Great post!

Making assumption can be good and bad both times. Awesome post!
๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ thanks.
I am terrible about making assumptions!!! I do it all the time and should NOT!!!!! Thanks for the reminders!

We need fact check. Assumptions can be good but not all the time! It should always be valid!

This is a good discussion as we always justify our own view based on first impression, which should not be completely ignored because there is just too much information to process every day. So I don’t know what to judge. – Knycx Journeying

Yeah, we shouldnโt assume but it is hard to keep oneโs mind from not doing so. Great write up

Honestly, making an assumption is never a good idea. You can have a promise but I have an assumption is really ignoring so many truths.
