Assumptions
PREJUDGING, IS FALSELY CONCLUDING
In a world where judgments are made swiftly and often unfairly, assumptions too often take center stage. People are judged by the color of their skin, their differences of opinion, where they live, or simply by their physical appearance. The dangerous problem with assumptions is that they are typically formed when one discounts or avoids the truth, leading to divisions, distrust, and even hate.
Assumptions: Prejudging is falsely concluding brings this unfortunate reality to light through the power of poetry. Author Al Johnson uses his own life experiences—growing up during times of segregation and discrimination—to craft a raw, honest, and emotional exploration of how assumptions shape our interactions and perceptions.
