Assume! Assume!
More assumptions!
Leading to
Misunderstandings
Cover the whole world.
Two!
Two types of reactions
Towards assumptions.
Either jump to conclusion
Or seek to clarify.
Jumping to conclusion
Without searching the truth
Strife and anger fills the house
A talebearer,
A whisperer,
A backstabber
An accuser
Fire spreads
From houses to neighbourhood
From neighbourhood to cities
From cities to provinces
From provinces to countries.
Unwilling to listen properly
Listen with a filter cover the ears
Believe in a lie
Believe in own false notion.
Seeking clarification
Though assuming
Attempting to remove
Remove the filter from own ears
Thirst for the truth
Immediacy meeting the person
Query the person
Seeking to clarify
Seeking peace
Prevent fire
Extinguish fire.

According to my friend, her mother in law jumped to conclusion and accuses her mother. My friend is very upset. My friend is someone who tends to seek a matter and to clarify her assumption by going to the person directly and ask.
on should never believe unless one sees concrete truth! assumption comes on its own, but if it is not backed by truth one should keep it to oneself or be decent enough to admit clearly that its an “Assumption”!
Yeah, that’s how I think. Great to hear your views, Sharmishtha π
Just excellent Yoshiko. I loved your written words, Their expressive meaning and the manner in which you presented your thoughts! So well done, π
Thanks so much, Penny π
Yoshiko, this reminds me of when my husband came home from his work & said how he had a trainer and the trainer said:
” ‘Assume’. You know that to ‘assume’ makes an ‘ASS’ out of ‘U’ and ‘ME’.”
That sums it up, hey!
