[ 166. Assumptions ]
This is another interesting entry i got from Russell's blog.
"i've learnt not to trust everything i hear. sometimes people tell you lies just so they can get things their way. even friends sometimes do that. although friendship is often forged on the basis of trust. other times, its not a lie. its just an assumption they make, and people have a tendency to be pessimistic, so they'll think of the worst possible scenario. then everything will take a nosedive. just cause they didn't bother to find out the truth or they blindly take to heart everything they hear. sometimes, when people say things, there could be two or more meanings to it. we just like to see things the way we want to, without clarifying with the opposite party. but if we were able to subdue such feelings, or systematically analyse and eliminate the false assumption before allowing our feelings to be evoked, would we still be human?
the uncontrollable adrenaline which boils within us is more often than not, oblivious to reasoning. just like everything else, reason comes after that burst of adrenaline. pain after anger. guilt after hate. pity after death. the things we do, which is dictated by the assumptions we make, are often reckless and uncalled for. we must find a way to minimise the number of occasions where assumptions get the better of us.
assumption may lead us to become paranoid. it may come to a point that we think that this particular statement did not mean what it appeared to mean. though it simply is, infact, what it is. 'talk to you later.', may simply mean, 'i've got to go now, i'll get back to you later.'. some might presume that they other party might be hinting on something deeper. perhaps that the other party may be avoiding him/her, or in the other extreme, interested in him or her. there are limitless possibilities of assumption. this is why i say, assumption is a dangerous thing. things should be seen in an appropriate manner, pending on the situation. but then again, appropriate would mean having to select the best possibility from a list of it. so i guess we could simply find out the truth before we reprimand someone with false accusations.
assume - to accept something to be true without question or proof.
assumption can hurt a person. it can hurt anyone. ever felt a great sense of disappointment after you realised that what you had hoped for was merely fiction? its like God gave you a slap across you fattened cheeks.
noticed that hope and assumption are somewhat intertwined? you cling on to something that may not ever happen, or not even true. and hope, is what spurs us on to live. the hope of life. the hope of love.
these are just my incoherent thoughts. it may make no sense to you at all. or it may. no matter, its just ramblings. i could go on forever, but i would rather not."
