You Know What Assuming Does...

I wonder how much of the world's problems are cause by misunderstandings or simply different expectations. What for one person is the most important thing in life, can be inconsequential to another. What happens when those people interact, when they have to depend on one another? Someone gets hurt, someone gets blamed and neither side understands the other. I'm going through a bizarre situation like this, and while I can't go into detail, it is so frustrating to be misunderstood, to have assumptions made about you that aren't true. My priorities are in one place and theirs are in another and I guess I just have to leave it at that.
