“Obviously, she was thinking that….” How is it that we think we are so good at mind reading other people? Oftentimes people express what is on their mind and project it onto others.
Many people make a snap decision and then build a case around their view of the story. “He’s innocent!” And if he really is, then the police, prosecutor, witnesses etc are the real bad people.
They are often afraid to see what the reality could be, especially if they would be seen as taking the view of the other side compared to their usual orientation.
Think about this next time you create a story around something, or hear someone else do it. Where are the facts? Where did the story comes from? Are there elements that have probably been made up to fill in some space and make it more exciting or believable?
Stop yourself next time, especially if you’re making up negative points. Create lovely stories if you’re going to make stuff up.
