Nothing else but assumptions, assumptions, and assumptions

Assuming is bad for one’s health, well on one’s emotional health that is. One can never safely assume unless the concrete proof is right before one’s eyes. Take note of the concrete here. Otherwise, one should just put all signs aside and not think of it in any other way. While it may not be that easy to dismiss certain things and put meaning on it, one should not fall into the trap of mistaking a thing for something else. Just like a plump red apple that may look deliciously juicy on the outside but turns out to be a disappointingly bitter one.

While it may sound like I am talking based from my own experiences, it is in fact the other way around. I actually learned this through the personal experiences of some friends of mine who have “safely” assumed only to be disappointed in the end. I don’t blame them though. If one would analyze it, all signs seemed to be leading to only one direction. But things could change in just one blink. That’s why never blink!! Hehe Just as fast as the weather changes, things can also suddenly go from meaningful to meaningless. The once ‘helping you with research’ seemed to be nothing else but just that. The once ‘text messages’ which you thought were sweet isn’t that sweet after all. And the once ‘long meaningful conversations’ you’ve had was apparently not that meaningful as it seemed to be.

So now I should understand why people sometimes play hard to get. I don’t really think it’s playing hard to get per se. It’s more of playing their cards well. They have to be smarter and more careful now in laying out all their spades or diamonds, whichever is higher. After all you got to play the game right in order to win.
