Making\nassumptions is part of human nature. Informed by our experiences and influences\nour assumptions are both useful and they get in our way. Our words can either\nreflect or bypass our assumptions. Care with our words, specifically how we ask\nquestions, can shift our views, and aid in communicating or developing\ncompassion. We can overcome our assumptions with our words, one person at a\ntime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
