About "Assume"
4 years ago
Give the journal a read if you want - maybe it'll make you think.
Once again I have a strange shower thought (and probably again I have to specify that it's not about THAT person, and again that person will take it out of context to spread more misinformation and harass me, blah blah blah)
"When you assume, you make an ass out of u and me"
I've always understood the u part, but how does making an assumption about someone also make them an ass?
Is it because they acted in such a way that would cause people to make assumptions? This can't be it because then you're already an ass before someone makes the assumption.
Then is it from how you react to someone making an assumption about you? This might be closer to the intention because a negative assumption will make you act aggressively (because someone's talking smack about you, like lying as my example (since someone's gonna bring it up anyways on twitter)), while a positive assumption would make you prideful (because people are praising you without you doing anything praiseworthy). This ended up being what I came up with, but it also doesn't feel quite right.
And what about rumors? (aka chains and chains of assumptions) How would they fit into this; Would the ass be the ones spreading the assumptions, the ones who are the original sources, or the ones who eventually make their own assumptions and start missing bits and pieces of information?
(maybe I should study philosophy)
Anyways that was just something that came to mind after a friend used that old saying. If anyone has their own opinion of the interpretation feel free to comment.
EDIT: I saw this quote that fit this journal - "...when both people are assuming chances are that one of them is going to get a cup full of the other one's jizz"
