RE: REPERCUSSIONS OF JUMPING TO CONCLUSION SOON
A very insightful post, @bluemist. "Jumping to conclusions" is the worst crime we can commit to our and to the other person's intelligence.
You post brings 3 things to my mind -
1- In a conformist societal structure, a non conformist thought and attitude is confirmed insanity :D :D .
2- Everything has a reference and a context. Things can be understood only in reference to context. Without Reference to the Context, opinions are hollow and often turn into baseless allegations.
3 - We can never know anybody fully. What we know of a person is only how the person's energy interacts with our energy. That is all that we know. The rest unfolds when we look at the person from afar with the passage of time. Time brings more experiences . Experiences change percepts.
So how can we even attempt to know a person. :)
We only know the interaction :)
Great post ! :)
@nehab Thoughtful explanation on @bluemist's post, and I agree with most of what you have said, but I would like to add this...
"Jumping to conclusions" is not a "CRIME" as you so put it. Life is not all about intelligence, facts and figures. Life, to my mind is primarily - emotionally, spiritually and energetically driven. (in fact this is our sole and soul source) So... Jumping to conclusions" is OFTEN driven by instinct, by "GUT" if you will. And in many instances, "jumping to that conclusion" is precisely what affords us foresight and insight. This is by NO means any kind of fault, and should NEVER be viewed as such. Those Impulsive emotional reactions to situations or people that we are in tune with are often our greatest gifts in terms of insight and should NOT be discarded.
"Jumping to conclusions" - is a primal reaction and should be afforded respect. It may not always be 100% correct, but often it WILL BE.
NONE of us have the right to judge another - that goes without saying! We ALL have our moments and issues - acceptance of this is PIVOTAL - and in my opinion, the "jumping to conclusions" / kneejerk reactions play a primary role in this.
There are MANY ways to skin a cat.
Having a one dimensional view on people's "jump to" responses, is really nonsensical.
I am a believer of instincts. Cognitive Logic is not something I practice. I practice Emotional Logic. I follow my instincts. "The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of ". :)
I think @jaynie there are two concepts that you are mixing as one.
Reaction to a stimulus. Reaction to a stimulus is always instinctive. And primal. I agree with you. The "gut" reaction.
) Decision making. When you take a decision, you balance your cognitive and emotional logic. You weigh the pros and cons . Even if you "DECIDE" to "FOLLOW YOUR GUT", you take a decision and "jump off the cliff".
Jumping to a Conclusion is part of the decision making process - FORMING AN OPINION OR COMING TO A CONCLUSION .
FORMING A CONCLUSION is taking your instinctive reaction (GUT) and cognitive logic (INTELLECT), both into consideration before arriving at a stable conclusion which is not rash !
"Jumping to a conclusion" is doing two polar opposite things - reacting instinctively and arriving at a conclusive thought. It makes the decision fickle and subject to frequent change !
ARRIVING AT A CONCLUSION is more helpful than "JUMPING TO A CONCLUSION" .
I hope you understand what I say, @jaynie.
I too believe and practice Intuition, Vibe, Energetics, Instinctive way of life. I always listen to my "Gut".
But I do not form frequent conclusions based on only my primal instinct. I let things sink before I declare a connclusive thought !
"Having a one dimensional view on people's "jump to" responses, is really nonsensical" . I agree. It applies to both sides of the coin ! :)
Nice interacting with you, Jaynie :)
I hear what you are saying, but I suppose I hold a slightly different perspective to yours.
I do not believe the two aspects to always be separate. Yes, there are instances in which they may be, but there are plenty in which they are not - it is all relative to the context.
Decision making can in many instances be very much instinctual, with little or no thought given to it whatsoever - not at ALL unlike a reaction to stimulus.
Again, as I said - it is all relative to the context as well as the individual. There is no "blanket" description or "umbrella" reference that can be true of all individuals.
Anyway, that is my perspective and experience.
:) :)
I agree that intellectual thought will always be considered insane. People normally chose not to delve into whole context and form opinion on their own perception only.
Energy synchronization and TIME is very important to understand other person to some extent.
You elaborated whole perception perfectly
Thank you so much for your insight, really appreciate it
my pleasure. I am happy that we resonate :)
