Because we are afraid to ask for clarification, we make assumptions, and believe we are right about the assumptions;
then we defend our assumptions and try to make someone else wrong.
It is always better to ask questions than to make an assumption, because assumptions set us up for suffering.
The big mitote in the human mind creates a lot of chaos which causes us to misinterpret everything and misunderstand everything.
We only see what we want to see, and hear what we want to hear.
We don’t perceive things the way they are. We have the habit of dreaming with no basis in reality.
We literally dream things up in our imaginations. Because we don’t understand something, we make an assumption about the meaning,
and when the truth comes out, the bubble of our dream pops and we find out it was not what we thought it was at all.
An example: You are walking in the mall, and you see a person you like. That person turns to you and smiles, and then walks away.
You can make a lot of assumptions just because of this one experience.
With these assumptions you can create a whole fantasy. And you really want to believe this fantasy and make it real.
A whole dream begins to form just from your assumptions, and you can believe, “Oh, this person really likes me.”
