Assumption Definition: Gods-Book.com Oxford: A thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof. Marriam Webster: An assuming that something is true. Cambridge: Something that you accept as true without question or proof. Are you mad at someone because of something about them you assume to be the truth? And did you tell those close to you your assumption, making this person appear uncouth? Could be you assumed something and told people you both knew, Spreading your assumption as gossip, making them believe it too. And the power of your persuasion from the negative picture you paint, Leads them to question this person after hearing your taint. This can have an enormous impact on how a person is perceived. And without any input from this person that your taint swayed others to believe. Now, this person has a negative reputation, from your assumption’s aftermath, And those who were close to them, now avoid their path. Maybe the allegation makes you too uncomfortable to have just asked This person directly what you assumed, when you put them on blast. Is it fair to destroy one’s reputation without even a word from them about what you assumed? And your persuasion of others, as your rumors and doubts bloomed. But what if you paused, took a moment to reflect? And chose to ask questions to them direct? You’d likely find that assumptions often lead us astray, And the truth when uncovered, can clear the way. For understanding and empathy to fully take root, And for relationships to grow, bearing honest fruit. So next time you find yourself quick to assume, Remember the power of asking this person directly lets understanding bloom. Wrongful assumptions often come from a thought to your mind, And quickly turn into something devastating when spread blind. It can change the way a person is received by family and friends they love. And make a person feel rejected and made a mockery of. All of this, because of something you came to assume, Defames a person’s reputation over a thought that you presume. Innocent of the rumors wrongfully assumed by you, And without merit destroys this person’s relationship with friends, moreover, family too. Do you spread untruth from something you presume? It changes one’s character, IT’S WRONG TO ASSUME!
