Taking For Granted = Subliminal Assumptions

EVERYBODY assumes. It is how we function in life. 'Assuming' really shouldn't have a negative connotation (Re: "When you assume, you make an 'ass of u and me'"). Assumptions are just conclusions. Some are backed by more experience/knowledge than others. So, the solution to 'bad' assumptions is education and communication.

Quote: It's Not You, It's Your Brain

"You might pass 5,000 cars on your morning commute, and 4,999 of them might be perfect, polite drivers. But then you pass that one guy in the SUV who literally stuck his buttocks out of his side window and took a flying shit on your hood. When you get to work, are you going to talk about the 4,999 good drivers or the flying hood shitter? You're going to focus on the negative, because your brain is hardwired to devote more attention to the misery in life." - Cracked.com

Maybe we should start complementing the regular good every day, instead of taking it for granted.
