ass+u+me= ??

Something interesting came up when i was having one of my arguments with Aaron Wong (truce brother man!) where i made d infamous quote "to assume is to make an ass out of u and me" but then he said, "yes, but when u try to guess or predict something, u do assume" in which got me thinking about the idea more than continuing d argument..because it is true..we do assume when we try to guess and predict..

so yea, wat made me forget the argument (it was another pointless argument i usually have, but usually i dont get disctracted by anything till someone wins d argument..) was the question, "is assuming bad?"

so yea, is it bad? k, again, it depends on what u define assuming is..so yea, my definition of assumption is making an educated guess or soft evidence (feelings, hunches) backing up a statement..now d 1st thing i must emphasize is that i do not say that assumptions are foolproof or even true..so based on that definition, i would say assumptions are good to a certain extent..y do i say so? well, i've organized my fair share of events, and one thing i noticed is that i LOVE to predict events that could occur..by doing so, i will be able to plan for it then the event would be 1 step more smoother..so yes, when i try to predict, i ASSUME that the senario would happen, then think of ways to overcome the issue..so yea, that stops that senario from occuring..

now, that is the more productive use of assuming..what i feel is the more productive use of assuming..what i feel is the problem with most ppl's definitions of assumption is that it is true..for example, husband and wife arguing because the husband didnt buy the right gift for the wife for their anniversary because the husband assumed that the wife just wanted chocolates, but she atcually wanted to go have a romantic dinner..so yea, how did the husband assume that? because he has been buying the same thing for years, and the wife never said anything till 15 years down the road..so yea, the husband assumed that the wife liked just getting chocolates, because of the history, but it did not mean it was something the wife actually wanted..

usually when i assume, i always prepare to be wrong n correct myself, cuz i made an assumption without hard evidence...n of course i dont get angry when ppl make assumptions about me, cuz again, there is no hard evidence..

so yea, thats all for now..Glory Glory Man UNITED!!!

Cheers..
