"assumption is a disease"
Said a wise woman with 6 children to handle. Why? Why is assumption such a disease? Maybe because it gives you a bad idea of something right? Or a right idea of something wrong? Either ways, assumption is such a horrible habit it turns into a lifestyle. An awful lifestyle that could kill. Probably not physically but mentally, a definite. Assuming can be applied in many ways, such as:
SITUATION 1
You assume a person's feelings. For example, you adore a person but you bottle up your feelings into a massacre in your head. Why? Because you assume they don't like you. You think they might reject you because you're not good enough for them or they're out of your league. What happened to staying classy and honest? IT DIED. Instead of assuming one's feelings, slap yourself and ask them for the truth. There's no harm done in confessing your feelings to someone unless you start going all creepy and desperate. But that's another story. Just be polite and honest. If they like you, then they will say so. If they don't, move on. The worst they can say is no so let it go. Don't assume things because you will never know a person's true feelings until they tell you.
SITUATION 2
Assuming one's feelings and/or point of view about life. Look, not everyone looks at life the way you do. Some people are optimistic, some people are pessimistic. You cannot assume a person is happy nor sad unless they tell you their real feelings. People hide their feelings from the wrong people because society uses it against them and that's simply wrong. It's just a matter of trust issue. You cannot assume a person is happy with what they have because that's what you see not feel. A famous person can look really happy on the outside but you will never understand how they really feel on the inside. So before you start making assumptions about how they feel, be a good listener and try to understand their pain. Ask them for the truth and then you will know how they actually feel.
SITUATION 3
The worst kind of assumption is assuming the truth of a rumor. A rumor is called a rumor for a reason. It comes from an uncertain source and is spread by irresponsible people. As a person, you can either believe what you hear, hoax or not, or you can ask for the truth from the person being told about. The rational thing to do is ask for the truth instead of believing unsure matters like rumors. You will be the fault when you spread information you're uncertain of because it could ruin a person's life and you have no confirmation about such fact to be the truth or just another lie. Therefore, be safe and ask for reassurance from the rumor spreader or from the person in the rumor itself to avoid being charged as the guilty one.
I can think of many conclusion for this matter but I'm going to stick to only one which is:

"if you want to be corrupted, assume"
because you are a corrupted human being if you assume things as you like. No one likes to be assumed wrongly so don't be a hypocrite and avoid assuming things about other people. Stay clean by asking for the truth. Nothing is better than being honest. Absolutely NOTHING.
