4 | ASSUMPTIONS

they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill
our need to know and to replace the need to communicate.
Even if we hear something and we don't understand, we
make assumptions about what it means and then believe
the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions
because we don't have the courage to ask questions.
