I know what you’re thinking

I’ve had many instances where I caught myself doing this and seen others guilty of letting their emotions override their logical thought process. Arguments happen worldwide over what someone thinks the other person said, or meant, or their body language, which the other person interpreted as offensive.

Instead of letting this emotional response get the best of us, our world would be a better place if we all took a step back, breathed, and asked for clarification of what the person really meant. Instead of analyzing and taking offense of what we think they meant. So many hurt feelings, conflicts, and deaths could be avoided.

Every human thinks they are an accurate mind reader, but humans are too unpredictable to correctly predict one hundred percent of the time.
