Assumptions are dangerous!!

There is no other response to your title but to agree. I am guilty as charged with assumption. I had a lot of times when I assume something with something. That has caused me and still causing me a lot of success and happiness. With it, I want to get rid of having an assumptive heart and mind towards something that is not suppose to be. I pray and hope, and work on it, that by God's grace, this practice will move away from me. I am again assuming that you like my response but I may be wrong. I'm sorry.

I believe it's really dangerous because I had my own assumptions or suspicions with people and it really gets worst overtime if I pay attention to it. This year, I will limit my assuming habit or guess or suspicions with people especially if that is negative. Sometimes I keep my mind as innocent as I can but I cannot avoid thinking something malicious is going on. Before jumping to any conclusion better think more positively.

I agree that assumptions make a real ‘as---s” of us. I agree with you that even innocent people are assumed to have committed something against us. While this is has been true in many transactions I am suffering the repercussions of a stupid assumption I made day before yesterday all-knowing. Instead of applying a moisturizing lotion on my face I had applied some ‘damage control macadamia nut oil’ meant for dandruff .Both were tubes of a similar size and they had got dislodged on the bathroom shelf. I had no spectacles on after my bath and assuming it to be the same moisturizer I applied this oil and let it soak also. I was wondering as time passed as to why my face was burning and ascribed it to a change of soap. At night it became pretty unbearable and I took an allergy and anti-inflammation tablets. Now there is no burning but my face is horrible. I feel very bad about it and pray the scars vanish soon. They looked like burnt marks the next day; now my cheek is better and my eyelids are not swollen [yesterday morning they were]. Only my chin is totally dry and is stretching painfully when I talk or eat. I have been such a fool It dawned on me pretty late after a day on seeing the the tube when I went in for my bath the next day Was it due to a change of soap/Was it because I consumed garlic”—Oh dear ! I thought of so many thing s except what had really happened.

We almost always put our fingers to those people whom we think are the most likely to have a grudge over us. And sometimes, we can be wrong. We sometimes, do not realize that the last person we'd think of doing it is the real culprit! It's, not me, though!

It happens to me. However, I just ignore it. As you have said, assumptions are dangerous. Anyway I regain again. That is normal in some ways. We cannot please everybody. Take it easy.

I guess making an assumptions are part of human nature in some point, that's why most of us ended up in fighting especially when we are not believing to somebody's explanation and everything seems in the right position to really assume but as the scenario ends it came to realized and found out that it was really wrong what we thought is right, I remember my associate from my employer were treated so badly for a month as we all assumed and thought that she'll do anything just to be promoted, we all thought that she's the reason why all of us are nearly had a suspension. Admittedly it was really our a day of stubbornness in work that time. What made all of us suspected is when we are having fun that time she was there with us galloping and everything but left early because she has something else to do. Timing as she left our superiors came and caught us eating and chatting in a very comfortable position. Of course, everyone of us thought it was her plan. To make the story short, it wasn't her who buzzed, it was my other associate's supervisor whose stalking for several days unluckily the only target is our other associate since he was caught several times not working unfortunately all of us got caught unexpectedly, damn! I hate to remember.ha ha

Depends..sometimes the probabilities are such that you have to assume...if you dont, you are at a greater risk, and then you have only yourself to blame.

I dont want to have sleepless nights because of MyLot... hence I have never thought about the who dun it thing ever for this site or any other site where I exist(ed). In the real world... there were days when I played the James Bond and sometimes I was WRONG
