If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don't understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.Miguel Ruiz
About This Quote
We often jump to conclusions when we hear or see something and believe it without knowing the facts. The fact is that we don't always need to know why someone did something in order to accept what they did. We just need to accept their actions and be glad that they did the right thing.
