Let’s make our assumptions positive.

And make life easier.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Easy, no?

This is how much easier life gets once we start “assuming" things on a positive note.

There are two sides to a coin. I agree.

But, till the moment when we have no clue about which side a particular “feeling" holds… isn’t it better to assume something that feels good? Than weaving threads around a plot which hurts us even before knowing the real story? You tell me.

Feeling. Did you notice how I have double quoted the word in the above paragraph?

Feeling, here, refers to something that seeps in the mind, and it has nothing to do with the hearts. Trust me! And the mind is evil, we should have known it by now. The mind usually, being the 'intelligent' one in the body, takes us to places where it gets more scope and space to think beyond something, to imagine more than required. It’s mind after all, it’s here to ANALYZE, SUMMARIZE, and finally CONCLUDE. It doesn’t want to wait. Arrogance is inherently embedded therein.

On the other hand, hearts give us HOPE, and PATIENCE to hold on to something that really helps us survive. I know, this is contradictory to the popular opinion — mind takes us to the right path, while heart misguides.

Well, I am not arguing about what is right and what’s wrong. For me, there is no absolute right or wrong anywhere in the world. My point here is, while having the liberty to make a choice between a positive assumption and a negative one, why don’t we leverage this opportunity in favor of positive for time being?

It anyway is just a feeling. It can either be true or false. The way we take it in, our perception shows the kind of capability and personality we have. Thus, it is always a good idea to inhale, absorb and choose positivity for oneself.

Once we assume and allow our mind to direct a negative story, our relationship with other people gets adversely affected — solely because of one mind, ’cause the other people have absolutely nothing to do with this mindset. For instance, one out of two people dating each other ‘assumes’ multiple facts about the other one and the latter has no clue at all about what is going on. In fact, according to the other one, their relationship is currently at its best. Now imagine! How two people who are in love with each other can drift apart forever simply because of mere assumptions. These assumptions and plots do not stay limited to one story, they multiply exponentially for the fact that one seed gives opportunity for numerous such seeds to grow and finally the relationship succumbs under the pressure of negativity. At last, all we are left is to wonder — why did it happen? why couldn’t we last together?

Also, kindly take a note about how we make the other people suffer due to our own evil source of such negativity. They are made to go through some of the most difficult times because one person complicates a beautiful relationship. Thus, make positive assumptions if at all required, have patience for the true story to unfold, and TALK! Talk to each other about anything that bothers you. It’s your job to clear the misunderstanding, your right to know the real facts, and your duty to give the other person a chance to explain their side of the story.
