Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Summary

This quote suggests that assumptions can slowly eat away at the foundations of relationships, much like termites that slowly destroy the integrity of a house. When we make assumptions about others, we build walls instead of bridges. Assumptions create misunderstandings, miscommunications, and unrealistic expectations, which can lead to conflict and strain relationships. To cultivate healthy relationships, it is essential to foster open and honest communication, avoiding assumptions and instead seeking clarification and understanding.
