“Assumptions are the termites of relationships.”
-Henry Winkler
When we make assumptions about a loved one we close ourselves; we are no longer open to see them as they are. We can only see them as we think they are. The fulfillment for love, connection and intimacy are diminished because we are no longer having a relationship with them. When we make assumptions about our loved one, we are having a relationship with our distorted thoughts about them. Those are two different relationships.
Do not only examine your assumptions, question them. Assumptions prevent us from loving what is, and interpreting reality in a clear way.
