Assumption

People are creatures that are given a brain and wit. With this, we have the power to think ahead, to assume things. Assumptions though can lead to hatred, and to insecurity. When something happens, there are always multiple sides to the story, always something different said by different people. Therefore, before jumping to conclusions and assuming something, listen, listen to everything.

Listening is a skill that is difficult to acquire let alone use it with everyone. Listening is the key to moving forward, to understanding, and without it, where would we be? Probably in a dark pit isolated with our own self centered selves.

Assumption is the product of lack of listening, and hence there is only a personal opinion without regards to others. Let the light shine in and give way to the listeners, the ones who care, those who make little assumptions. One of my pet peeves is people who assume. For example, and action that is done with good intentions, people can assume that it is with bad intentions. How are they to know someones intentions? Some people are so ignorant yet they still deny it and admit nonexistent knowledge.

Do You Listen? Can You Hear Me?

Ever feel like no one around you listens? That no one really understands you or even takes the time to? That you can't trust your friends? Like everyone seems to be walking backwards? I think we all go through times where this is truly how we feel. We feel isolated on an island that people think doesn't exist. People make their own judgements and presumptions without thinking. But then you begin to think that people are not listening to you, so you try to listen to them, and try to dissect their layers like layers of an onion. But sometimes you're left pealing the wrong parts of the onion and you basically get nowhere. You think that hey maybe if I hear what others have to say I might see something in myself, or realize something that I never did before. Then There comes other times where you really feel the urge to be heard and you begin to seek the attention of perfect strangers and throw all your problems at them in hopes that they will be better listeners than your closest friends. I guess life doesn't always work according to the "give and take" saying.
