Everyone is entitled to have a particular way of thinking and to assume. I may not agree with what you say or how you think, but I will respect your rights to think and see things from your perspective. Often times we try so hard to win people over to our side which makes us mess things up even the more. It is okay to have our personal notion but it is wrong not to be open to understand and seek the truth.

We live in a world full of assumptions and how people assume wrongly the things you say or even the things you do. Most of these assumptions stem from the fact that if they were in the same situation as you, that is exactly what they would do. Most people would assume you are doing the same thing they have done or they would do, if they find themselves in that same scenario, or possibly what they have been exposed to.

I have a lot of ladies as friends. Some are way older than me and most are way younger than me. I love having them around me and I learn a lot from them just as much as they learn from me too.

In this part of the world, once people see you with the opposite sex, they generally assume you are dating. It gets worse when you are both coming from the same house, then their imaginations start running wild. It is such a shameful thing when you see people think this way or second guess things but I have learned never to be disturbed by that and I would do it over and over again.

I flow easily with ladies and I really cannot explain how or why. I have received a lot of stares and many whispers when people see me with different ladies but my conscience is clear. It is understandable when they judge you too quickly because we are at that age where most men think with their genitals and most ladies are loose, but it is wrong to assume everyone is the same, but then it is their right to assume.

We should do better as humans and shun generalization out of the door.

...THE END...


Thank you for your time.

Better talk it out rather than making assumption. Whenever there is any kind of doubt, confusion and unclear point just had a conversation in a peaceful manner to clear out the haze. Assumption and perception are all our own thoughts development. Better lead a clear way of living by having a clear talk process. Also avoid believing in over the ear talk as it is always misleading.

Thank you so much for this. This is what most people don't like doing; talking about it or asking questions. A lot of assumptions and erroneous ideas could be solved if only the other person would just speak about it.

Most people don't want to ask, speak or talk about it because they hate to be wrong, so they would rather stick to their own assumptions and spread what is not.

Thanks a lot for this. I really appreciate it, my friend.

This is what I learnt over time. I also use to make assumptions but sooner I realise my mistake and started to talk to clear out any confusion or doubt.

Everyone has the right to freedom and we are free only when our beliefs do not break the boundaries of other persons, that is, we have the right to express our emotions, but we have no right to deny the beliefs of another person because all persons Have their own different views. It may be that the point of view that seems wrong to others, seems to be good from others.
Often we mess up things to implement our beliefs, the circumstances change. The only thing that two people see from different perspectives is because it is okay to have our personal belief, but it is wrong to understand the truth and not be open to know.

Thank you brother @olawalium

Wow! You have no idea how much I am enjoying your views and comments. This is brilliant as usual. I may not agree with everyone but I will always respect the opinion of others.

It is okay to have different views and assumptions but we should always be open to new ways and possibilities if not, our assumptions would go wrong and the opinion would be myopic.

Well done, my friend. I enjoyed this, really, Thank you.

In this life we have our individual ways of thinking and see reason for believing a thing or not. We have every right to what we believe.

We can have our opinions to ourselves but not to force it on others. We can only make others see reason why they have to accept our opinion but not to the extent of persuading them.

No man is not embodiment of knowledge. We learn from one another in this life, so it is not always what you think but what is right to do.

Our society is full with myopic people who cannot see beyond the nose. They believe all ladies with guys are dating or having fun together. Well it is not really their fault but the community we found ourselves that shaped our thought.

Our society is full of myopic people who cannot see beyond the nose.

Brilliant. Yes, we have been conditioned to what our society dictates to us which is wrong because it robs us of our free will to think right and be objective.

As you said, no man knows it all. No man is an island of knowledge or has the monopoly of it, which is why when there is a confusion, there should also be a dialogue.
Never hold anyone by the hand or by the button in order to be heard. You should rather hold your tongue than them. Never force your opinion or spread wrong words without due diligence.

Thanks a lot for this, brother.
