“It is very interesting how the human mind works. We have
the need to justify everything, to explain and understand everything, in order
to feel safe. We have millions of questions that need answers because there are
so many things that the reasoning mind cannot explain. It is not important if
the answer is correct; just the answer itself makes us feel safe. This is why
we make assumptions…We make all sorts of assumptions because we don’t have the
courage to ask questions…We have agreed that it is not safe to ask questions;
we have agreed that if people love us, they should know what we want or how we
feel. When we believe something, we assume we are right about it to the point
that we will destroy relationships in order to defend our position.”
