We’ve often heard that making assumptions make and ass out of you and me, right? This is true in most cases. But, the world is built on assumptions. The reason is because the world is full of judgments. Assumptions are a part of judgments.

When we first meet someone and size them up, we begin to make assumptions about them. This is part of the natural human response to first meeting someone, and particularly why we should…

Why do we do the things we do? Why do we stay on a path that we know is not good for us? Why do we stay in relationships that are not healthy?

day I fly towards the
Friend’s abode,
beating my wings in
hope
of reaching that
home.”

Rumi
