Assumptions
I think we assume because it’s a simple way of putting order to an idea that is defined by our perspective and expectations. A person tries to put order to a group of personal perspectives to formulate a rational understanding and consecutively they also assume others see the same assumption. The problem with this systematic way of sorting things out is that perspectives are a personal view and not all people have been thru the same personal situations. This leaves many misunderstandings and hurt feelings, because how ego is affected by expectation. Walking in the state of empathy and following the guidance of the virtues gives us the compassion, patience, and kindness to understand another’s ideas and perspectives.
It has come to my attention that Science, Religion and Philosophy have been saying the same things all along.
Society has gathered terms and definitions throughout history. We create a construct called Normalcy with these terms and definitions. Normalcy allows us to feel a sense of purpose, relation, and balance in our everyday lives. Societal checks and balances discriminative discernments and actions maintains the “Norm” … And everyone feels safe “it’s normal to lock your door in a high crime neighborhood.” … and we lock the door.
A problem occurs if a society becomes overly discriminative and dogmatic in their understandings and systems. Not allowing discussions relating to new data, concepts, or discoveries.

Hope and loss
Most people would like to believe they are on a righteous path and that they are good people. People live their lives rarely in the present moment. People are always thinking of the past and future. Most People feel a nagging compulsion to be connected, which creates a void with us. People spend their lives searching for something to fill this void. The three things that most people find comfort in are sensuality, power & destruction.
1) Sensuality includes sex, drugs, friends, etc.
2) Power includes money, land, control of other, etc.
3) there are many physical and spiritual examples however the basis of destruction comes from people embedding themselves into negativity in the hopes of bringing others down, so they may feel better about themselves or lift themselves up materially.
The abuse
We have grown up in a world that is far from nature. When I say nature, I don’t mean living in the woods specifically, however I’m referring to nature in all forms like energy flow, emotional current, mental growth and universal cause and effect, etc. Modern cultures have bred society into a mass hypnotic state that produces humans that are more automaton like than free willed. We are subjected to this, so they - the people in charge, can use our value to further themselves by leveraging a person’s limited lifetime for Money, Power, Material goods, etc.
We do not have to live our lives as bricks in a wall or pretend we are robots.
We only must do what we love to do.
The change
The little things people do on a day-to-day basis have a major impact on the world around them. A person chooses what they wish to be surrounded by. Change is a choice.
