Assumptions

The whirlwind of emotions, intentional an un intenional words used for and against one another and the terrible assumptions these word create in everybody's mind can be as deadly dangerous as any hurricane. We being social animals look for similarities in people to group together and like to identify ourselves with a group of like minded indiviuals.

Life, without these individuals to share a laugh, story or a tear will be bleak (for some). So where does the assumption come in? When people forget "we are group" and try to connect at a higher level with one person as a "closer friend", things start getting funny. So meeting out of the group and talking frequently with more familiarity increases the assumptions among others in the group.

We learn life's important lessons from all experiences. From one such experience came this knowledge. When you are in a group, be only a team player and NEVER sport personal favourites. DO NOT gossip about the group within the group. Never "confess" your feelings about people to whoever you think is your friend. They might be closer to the other person involved!

Robert Frost rightly said in Mending Wall, "Good Fences make good neighbors". Ours might be all apple orchards and our neighbors all prunes. Still having a boundary, a wall, and keep it well mended has a great effect on the relationship between neighbors. Not just for neighbors, but in every single relationship, be it family or social circle, a clear understanding of our "wall" will defnitely keep us from many intruders!!
