About this episode
Assumptions are generally not good; they leave you vulnerable. Imagine, for example, that you are crossing the road and you assume there are no cars coming. Guess what? You could easily find yourself in a hospital shortly after.However, in life, sometimes we need assumptions. In fact, some assumptions are fundamental to life. It's also worth pointing out that we see whatever we aim at, which is a useful philosophical idea to know. This may sound metaphysical, but it's really not. In today's episode, I'll be discussing why you need to be careful with what you are aiming at and the assumption that you should absolutely be making to live the best possible life.
