A married couple was returning from the funeral of Uncle George who had lived with them for twenty years and had been such a nuisance that he almost succeeded in wrecking their marriage.
“There is something I have to say to you, dear,” said the man. “If it hadn’t been for my love for you I wouldn’t have put up with your Uncle George for a single day.”
“My Uncle George!” she exclaimed in horror. “I thought he was your Uncle George!”
This no doubt is an extreme kind of ‘Assumption’. But it brings out several salutary points.
1. Sometimes we assume things very blindly. Some times they are the logical conclusions we draw based on solid factors, nevertheless wrong. If we look back with an unbiased mind, we would realize that in ‘real life’ often logic does not work.
2. It also shows that when our love for someone is genuine we would not cringe from any sacrifice to safeguard it.
