The problem with making assumptions is that we believe they are the truth. —Don Miguel Ruiz When we get into a conflict with someone, it may be that our assumptions, which usually arise out of our worldview, are different. Worldviews develop in childhood; they have to do with how secure and safe our childhood is. Those with childhoods that were less secure tend to develop a worldview that the world is a dangerous place. Those with more secure childhoods, develop the opposite worldview—that the world is safe.
So true. I have been guilty of this. I’m trying to do better these days by being more conscious and avoiding the pull from others.
