Don’t Make Assumptions

The Daily Stoic

29-03-2023 • 2 mins

You don’t get a joke, so you say it’s not funny. You don’t like something, so you believe it sucks. You’re white, so you’ve always taken it for granted that the color ‘nude’ roughly matches your skin. You drive on the right side of the road, so it’s weird when you go somewhere and people drive on the left side. You love your job, so you have no patience for people complaining about theirs. You’ve been successful, so you can’t understand why other people struggle.

We assume…and we make asses of ourselves.

Our personal experiences make up a tiny percentage of the world, but a huge percentage of how we perceive the world.
