Intro thoughts
When we rely on our assumptions we often are blinded by our own perception of the world around us. The action of Assumption is a twisted melody that will comfort the normal man, but truly troubles me. I want to live life not to assume, and to boldly ask what no one has asked before!
Body, the god stuff
Remember that assumptions are only theories until we can prove them, until then we are just analyzing the data trying to search for the truth.
I believe that everyone is searching for truth, all day, every hour, until we reach the end of the road with our travels though life. We search for truth so that we have understanding, and closure. I wanted to add comfort to that list and I think that we CAN add it but we have to understand the "evil" power of an assumption.
With assumptions, we are creating a since of self assurance that everything we know and have known to "believe" is the current truth. And in fact it is in a way. If you get to a point where you will not prove wither your assumptions are true or false, then the assumption is the only thing you will have, kinda scary huh?
So if most scary things are in FACT not comfortable and since we as humans are constantly seeking comfort, then we must also seek the truth. It is then at that moment in which we find truth, we find comfort.
Now I know that many of you will say things such as, the truth is that there are tons of people dying from [insert any thing thats a big topic of discussion, aids, cancer, abortions] and i find no comfort in that truth. To you I would say first off, find comfort in death, its a damn hard thing to do for most of you. (I'm already getting distracted with ideas for my next post on the subject) But if you start with finding comfort in death you will be more acceptable to the truth that we will all die one day. Yes disease is a terrible thing and as you continue to know about God you will learn that all good things come from him and that the evil of the world is what is trying to consume us all, so yes bad things happen to good people, even "Godly people" but its because of the world you and I have created.
WOW sorry for that tangent I was just trying to create and example of an assumption and how there can be much more to a feeling and where it comes from then just thinking that it sucks that people die from disease.
Finding the truth is something that can often be a very hard process. But we have to realize that it is often easily found if we just ask. What makes it hard is we have to do something that most have forgotten log ago, communicate. Communicate your assumptions, you don't have to be blunt about them, just do what it takes to get the truth so you can start rebuilding your life based on truth and not on assumptions.
in closing
I would ask that you analyze your assumptions, but only if the truth is not available. Remember to that the truth is almost ALWAYS out there, you just have to look a little harder, act a little bolder, or humble yourself a little more to find it.
still not sure what else to say but there is MORE in my head on this topic
