Assumptions, everybody makes them, but nobody wants them made about them.
Assumptions can be hurtful, think about it, you are making up things about other people (in your head) instead of getting to know them. In some cases, egotistical assholes tell people little things about other people to bring up their own self-esteem and make them feel better about themselves. In turn, the people being told this garbage might make assumptions about the person/people being talked about.
The assumptions that you make can make you hurt yourself as well. If you believe assumptions you should stop being nieve and try to learn new facts on other people, if make them you should stop and think about why, because its really not a good character trait to have. Don't assume that the water in front of you is 10 feet deep, and don't assume that everyone you meet will like you as soon as they meet you. You will make a jackass out of yourself either way. Even if you are right about your assumptions who cares? If we cared about our own ordeals as much as we care about other people, we could improve our moral standings by a lot.
You shouldn't assume anything about anyone because you have no reason to, and to be honest, it's probably going to be incorrect, I mean seriously, you don't see murderers saying "Oh I thought that he wanted me to stab him 46 times in the abdomen". But you always see people going "I think she's a slut, she made out with this guy I knew one time" or "he's so gay, look at him".
Next time you assume something about someone else, just think about what you're doing to your moral fiber, is it really worth it to think these stupid things about people (which don't pertain to you)?
So was the pasta picture a reference to "moral fiber" or the "he looks so gay" thing (cuz the of the the pastas don't look straight)? lol
ReplyDeleteOr world lives on assumptions; our society operates by them. It's something I think about every day, because I always try to avoid them, and constantly watch others make them, use them, and act on them. Sometimes it may be safe, or even necessary to make an assumption, but in no case do I ever believe that any assumption should be held for good. Unfortunately, people tend to seem too lazy to observe, too hasty to stop and learn. And, instead, we get by on assumptions, rather than the truth.
I'd much rather be that guy that aims for the truth.
