We do not know if she collapsed because of overwhelming joy, extreme surprise, grave disappointment, or heavy anxiety that for the next months and years she would live with a human male, because in fact she had been honest when she told her girlfriends that she had given up on men, OR NONE OF THE ABOVE.

About This Quote

This quote is a perfect example of how we can never know what another person is thinking. We usually assume that we know the thoughts and feelings of another person because we have shared those thoughts and feelings with them. But, even if we do not share those thoughts and feelings, we still assume that they think and feel as we do. This assumption can be dangerous as it can lead to us doing things that we would never do.

A good example of this is when someone is in a situation where they may be emotionally vulnerable such as when they are in love or under stress. If you assume that someone else feels exactly as you do, you may make decisions based on your assumptions about their feelings. If you believe that a person feels happy about a certain situation, you may allow yourself to feel happy for them without checking to make sure that they are actually happy – you could be causing them pain instead.
