Assumption: An attitude of supposing a thing without proofs.
Assumption is obviously an inherent attitude found in every human being. Can we actually separate humans from assumption? It is like a virus. I call it human worst enemy to understanding people and their environments. It is simply another human weakness. The influence of assumption on humans is just indescribable take it or leave it. It is the thing of the 💓 [heart]. That is where it starts from. Have you ever asked where low and high self-esteem was coined from? It started with this evil disease called ASSUMPTION. It is a trend actually. You see it everywhere, don't you? Check your family, it is there, workplace, churches, relationship or even mosque. In HRM, it is called social judgement biases.
Assumption could be said to have come as a result of fear, avoidance of responsibility, incompetence, etc. It could also be because an individual is trying to be critical. Let's stop assuming what cannot be proofed. It is like a sin against your neighbour. Assumption is a fallacy. Let's desist from assumption. Let's move closer enough and verify to have concrete evidence; proof gives the heart and mind much more rest than assumption which could breed paranoia and all other sorts of negative notions there are.
