Don't Be Presumptuous

Don't Be Presumptuous

Allow me to borrow this post by Ghost Girl @ Quora.com last August 1st.  A blonde walks into the police department looking for a job and the officer starts to test her.  OFFICER:  What's 2+2?  In a blink, the blonde blurts '4'!  OFFICER:  What's the square root of 100?  In a second, blonde says '10'!  Then, OFFICER asks:  WHO KILLED ABRAHAM LINCOLN?  Blonde says 'I DUNNO'.  OFFICER then says:  WELL YOU CAN GO HOME, THINK ABOUT IT, COME BACK TOMORROW'.  The blonde goes home and calls up one of her BFFs who asked her if she got the job?  Blonde proudly proclaims:  I'M ALREADY WORKING ON A MURDER CASE !  Oh my, Don't Be Presumptuous📌📌📌

Indeed, PRESUMPTION is so powerful and for the most part, unchallenged.  Let's look back, all those public declarations of LOVE, the suitor WHO makes his marriage proposal atop the peak of the mountain, OR that one who announces in primetime TV or at a bigtime sporting event his declarations of LOVE.  These are all public spectacles based on the PRESUMPTION that everyone else should be as excited, happy and agog as you are about to push your romantic life to the next level✅✅✅

Much as we DON'T begrudge people who prefer to profess their joyfulness with all that aplomb, I personally do begrudge them for their PRESUMPTION that their values are also mine, something that is NOT shared by default though.  Some examples of PRESUMPTUOUSNESS may be minor or small ones but they add up.  But without sounding that critical, I was wondering if we manifest things more consistently across💎💎💎

Like, if we were going to cheer for one persons anticipation of wedlock, WHY can't we applaud that other person who just bought her/his first home?  OR the person who is taking care of his aging parent while multi-tasking at work?  The latter example may sound strange BUT isn't that exactly a more noble commitment than that promise to marry?  All things being equal, it still makes a lot of sense for us NOT to be PRESUMPTUOUS in life because given all the probabilities in life, nothing is really cast in stone💊💊💊

Now, who says to be PRESUMPTUOUS is much more a serious than mistakes that happen innocently?  Discussed profoundly, PRESUMPTUOUSNESS may likely lead to a strife but again, wisdom belongs to those who seek advice.  When it becomes so obvious that we have acted PRESUMOPTUOUSLY, we may end up embarrassed. humiliated OR even worst.  Factually speaking, studies have shown that PRESUMPTUOUS acts frequently DON'T TURN OUT WELL.  So, here's hoping it is NOT a hard-sell for us to encourage everyone NOT to be PRESUMPTUOUS, else we might end up TOAST❗❗❗
