This morning, when I read the Gospel for this week, we could hear the story of how Jesus called his first disciples to be fishers of people. The response from the apostles was immediate. And there were no doubts at all.
They assume that that was an expectation of the coming of the Messiah.
Yet, in this world to accept something to be true without question or proof, to take it for granted would follow risk.
By always assuming we know what others think and feel yet, we also block out learning good things and true others would like to share with us that we are assumption often wrong.
These days everybody is hurrying to do that is one of the reasons we assumed very quickly, especially personal matters.
I can not say that making quick assumptions can lead to lazy behavior if we do not do it frequently.
For, I suffered almost one year from a quick assumption that I made that I could not disclose information.

However, we only imagined something useful, without assuming for positive thinking that the force of progress will be limited. 
We can not be like the first disciples who were humble people whose hearts were receptive to the call.
We could assume that God chose us to listen for truth and live in that manner.

Another matter was on my mind this morning, wrong assuming can lead people big tragic in their lives.
For example, most people know about the classic novel written by Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet.
They could not love each other because of a family feud and the troublesome of society, Juliet has feigned death by taking poison, and her family put her in the church tomb. The person who knows this scheme, Frain Laurence lost the letter which wrote true intention supposed to tell Romeo about Juliet's plan. So, Romeo assumed she was truly dead. He kills himself at her side. When Juliet awakens and sees Romeo's death, she assumes very quickly and kills herself.

It seems too much passion as well assuming too quickly.
Maybe, Shakespeare wrote to try to make it more dramatic to boost his novel, yet it stays in mind long time.

Now, it is not proper space to talk about nuclear weapons between South and North Korea, I hope they should not assume too much each other that could cause bigger tragedy.
