"Assumptions lead to impatience because the lack of knowledge and uncertainty can make you feel very uncomfortable."
But isn't it also true that impatience leads to making assumptions?
It's easy to do, categorize someone's behavior! It saves time to understand the "why's"... and we can simply jump to conclusions and start acting accordingly. Hm. It sounds dangerous, but don't we all do it from time to time?
And isn't it true that in most cases, our assumptions turn out to be false?
If impatience catalyzes our "assuming behavior", could we be infected by the fast paced society? No time. Too busy. Need it right now. Immediate attention.
We lack proper communication.
We live in the reality of our assumptions because we just don't have time or patience or don't want to make the effort to "find out" what the facts are?
if he doesn't do this, then....assumption
if she does this, then... assumption
The bad news is... assumptions always seem to hold a lot of negative thoughts, hold more distrust than trust... and it might lead to judging a person... based on..???
and if you judge people, you don't have time to love them as Mother Theresa always said.
"Don't Make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life." (Miguel Angel Ruiz)
