I'm in a rush, now is an awful time to write, but I am. AKA, this is really important to me.
Assumptions ruin relationships you guys. With your friends, family, God, co workers, strangers, everyone. Once you make the decision to not talk to the person you're assuming things about but rather just make the assumption that they did this or they said that, hope is lost. (Unless you end up talking to them.) Communication and honesty are two of the most important factors when it comes to relationships of any form. So why do we decide to be lazy and just assume things? It hurts me to watch and it hurts me to be on the end of the "assumed". Something as a world we need to work on is instead of thinking that melodrama is attractive, let's just solve our problems so there's less pain in the world. A lot of the times, assumptions lead to judgement as well, and that isn't fun for anyone.
So please take this into account, if you are assuming things or are the type of person to believe rumors really easily, take some time to think about what you're doing. How would you feel if it was you who was being judged and talked about in a negative and untruthful light?
