Making Assumptions

Everyone has made assumptions before, and everyone will do so at least once more in their lifetime and probably more than once. It is just what people do and in all honesty it is not the best thing for us to do. People on average tend to make assumptions about almost everything, from food to clothes to people and even places.
We also use those assumptions to judge those things, especially those that we may have heard of but never actually tried ourselves. Also we tend to assume that the people who we think we know best would do exactly what we assume, rather than suprising us.
I believe that assumptions have there place and that at times they can often be correct, but I think that we should learn to not rely on them nearly as much as we do.

Yes I agree with you, assumptions can get us in trouble. But for some reason everyone makes them no matter what. I think, for me at least, that making an assumption is just easier than actually finding out what the deal is.

yep, many people get into the habit of assuming. I think everybody assumes. It's almost impossible.
