You suspected.
The suspicion was incorrect.
You used some intuition
Your intuition was off.
You went with the information at hand.
The information was incomplete.
You had a guess.
The guess was wrong.
You assumed, A plus B equals C (A + B = C).
When in reality, A plus B was equal to Z (A + B = Z).
You formed an opinion.
The opinion was untrue.
Jumping to a conclusion is often quicker and easier.
Until it’s not.
Then it’s harder to get back on track.
Jump the jumping to conclusions.
“Mind is a machine for jumping to conclusions.”
