Assumptions

[MiRi]

As a woman was waiting for her flight at the airport, she bought a book and a bag of cookies to pass the time. As she was engrossed in her book, she noticed a man take a cookie from her bag of cookies that was sitting on the table in between them. This, of course, made her furious. As she took a cookie, he too took a cookie. This went on until only one cookie was left. Now, she wondered, what would this cookie thief do? With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her one half and ate the other. She snatched the cookie from this rude man and fumed about his audacity.

 

When her flight was called, she indignantly got up and boarded her plane. She didn?t even look back at this thieving ingrate. As she sank down on her seat, she reached into her bag to pull out her book. Gasping with surprise, she pulled out her bag of cookies. As it turned out, she was the cookie thief.

 

How many times in our lives have we been absolutely certain about something only to discover later we were incorrect? Many of our beliefs are not based on the whole picture, but rather are based on pieces of information. Instead of researching an issue and deriving a logical conclusion, we see some "facts" and jump to a conclusion. We assume certain things are true and build our belief system on these assumptions.

 

So, in other words, get all your facts straight before you form a conclusion and open your mouth to speak about it or act upon it.

 

I saw that on another message board and found it so interesting, I thought I'd share it with you guys.

 

Discuss.

she was a stupid chick who was so quick to stuff her fat face with cookies she stole somebody elses, so what? I don't think this is a great lesson story, it's a better "don't be so quick to jam your pie hole with cookies" story.
