Presumptions
and misunderstandings have a close relationship. If you understand something or
someone, you will make assumptions on the fact that you know and understand and
can therefore, predict to an extent.
But
when you misunderstand, that can be based on your expectations of people,
people you could sometimes be colored and prejudiced about. Actions in this
case may be misunderstood and hence, incorrect presumptions made, guillotining
someone who may be more innocent than guilty.
We
often mete out undue injustice in this way and should train ourselves to
observe rather than involve in emotional leanings that might prevent clear
thinking and damage relationships. We all live and learn. To correct faulty
patterns is not impossible.
