I think speculation/curiosity/nosiness whatever you want to call it is often the road that leads to assumptions.<br />Even if we never cure ourselves of the habit, it's as well to keep them to ourselves.

As someone who has faced a lot of sweeping assumptions from others, I try not to jump to the worst conclusions myself. It is something we can all do though!Suemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128736092253293640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-68808029207717147832011-10-16T21:58:54.114+01:002011-10-16T21:58:54.114+01:00I think this misinterpretation extends throughout ...I think this misinterpretation extends throughout all of society...when we don't know the true facts we imagine all kinds of dire things!

It also encourages the imagination to create stories to go with the people - and I think people watchers hone their instincts so that their stories are often quite similar to the true stories of the people they watch. But not always, as you surmise. The trouble comes when we are wedded to our own version of the story and don't leave room for other scenarios. Many a good mystery novel uses that technique!<br /><br />I hope your scan came out ok!Penelopepiscopalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110169815273159849noreply@blogger.com
