Assumptions 101
Posted on June 15, 2020 by tara caribou
Look me in the eye and say that again…
or weren’t you listening?
No?
Because in all reality,
you were speaking without thinking.
Again.
Without all the facts.
With all your presuppositions
and a tainted mind.
You assume you know and so you speak.
Here’s a piece of advice:
shut the fuck up for once and
Listen.

Reminds me of a Taoist saying:’ He who speaks does not know; he who knows need not speak’.
