the aftermaths of assumptions

Sigh.. Don't know what's wrong today.. Got into conflicts after conflicts.. :(

Thought I angered a friend on FB last night. Was asking bout his past and assumed that people wouldn't mind.. Chatting halfway and he suddenly went offline. I was like, "Oh no... What did I do???" Went to sleep and tried to shut things out of my mind.. But this morning the minute I opened my eyes the reality snapped right through. Went to class with question marks at the back of my head..

During the first class dy I seemed to be caught in another one. Didn't know how to solve this either.. wasn't an on-the-spot mistake and things couldn't be undone.. I had assumed that a once-mentioned answer was the final decision.. but the more I explained, the more it didn't sound right.. so I shut up and felt another weight went 'kongggg' down on me..

After break a phone call came and got the news that some housemates were mad coz we ter-locked the gate, assuming that no one's going home halfway... and so caused inconvenience to others and even a little accident..

The moral of the story is..? Don't assume things are the way they seem to be..

I wonder what God is trying to tell me.. last Monday that and today thESE.. I'm getting the people phobia soon.. sigh.. God, please remind me next time when I start assuming the ways things are again.. but it's so hard.. sometimes I tend to apply my common sense or previous knowledge more..

But thank God there's 1 piece of good news to start with now.. the first conflict has been cleared.. my friend went offline coz of connection problem.. and that he didn't mind.. or so he says.. but I'll really love to believe that.. I guess things would change for the better.. one by one.. little by little..
