Thinking About Assumptions

01:07:59 :: [psychology, philosophy] :: 144 words

I’ll get right to the point. What assumptions do you carry with you that you never really have stopped to consider? We all have thousands. You can detect your own assumptions about the way reality is and ought to be by the way you react to certain social situations; do you remember the last time someone committed a faux pas at a restuarant? How about in your home? Did someone say something that offended you in conversation?

These are all based on assumptions that we hold that pertain to our daily lives. I will be soon posting a list of my “assumptions” as well, though of course these will be for public discussion and will not be unchallenged in the sense that I am asking you, my beloved readers, to consider your “assumptions.” Do you know of any off the top of your heads?
