You got it right @kivar. We assume too much.

Like my pups says, assumption is the least form of reasoning. Anyone can assume.

Rather than assume, ask questions or make an enquiry into why this is this or that is that. Instead of making assumptions that may not add up.

I remember while I was in the University, I had a friend of the opposite sex who I was attached to. We were so close but my relationship with her were within certain boundaries.

Not until, I told her I got had a girlfriend, her reaction said it all. Finally I got to sit her down and talk it out. In her words, she 'assumed' we were dating since, it was just sex that was missing. It took a lot of talking to fix a that friendship.

The essence of the whole story is that we should ask questions rather than make conclusion on our assumptions.
