A person who makes an assumption is never willing to ask the necessary questions needed to complete or fill in the facts. When one lacks complete information, he or she is forced to fill out the blanks with their interpretation of the things they see or even hear. Assumptions are toxic as they foster an adverse mindset, they keep one stuck in his or her past, and they also stop people from taking responsibility for their lives.
