Assumption can be deadly!

No questions asked, no research being made, no time given to be tested, and no doubt rendered a bit.

Total belief in what comes into the ear or what the eyes see. The heart takes it and the mind processes its outcome thereby most times providing the wrong result, leaving a damaged situation that would have been managed.

Assumption is deadly if not tread upon carefully. It's tempting to embrace it when a situation presents itself in a way that is hard not to believe. It engulfs you with every feeling of acceptance at the moment of receiving information or beholding an event.

One can take time to calculate and reason, assuming the possible outcome of a thing but with time, reality will show itself and every assumption will be proven whether right or wrong.

The difference is just the time.

Time given changes everything, because with time you can prove your assumptions whether it's right or wrong thereby saving yourself from being disappointed.

Acting upon assumption as the fact at an instant can most times drain and leave you dried up by a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.

Wondering why can't we just live off it? Laying aside and bringing reality and a sensible way of analysis. It's easier to live with it (assumption) but it's much better and healthier to live without it. Give it a try, it will save you from accumulating issues.
