Just because things have not gone the way we wanted them to go, doesn’t mean that the reasons they didn’t go that way are the reasons we assumed to be their cause. We all tend to jump to conclusions and especially when we didn’t want something to happen and that something happens. We are very quick to jump to the conclusion that that turn of events demonstrates the truth of our concerns and our reasoning. However, actually speaking that event may have happened because of some other set of causes entirely. That’s why rather than jumping to conclusions, we need to be pausing for evaluation.
