This is my summarization of the third agreement , do not make assumptions.

Per Author Don Miguel Ruiz "One assumption leads to another assumption; we jump to conclusions, and we take our story very personally. Then we blame other people, and we usually start gossiping to try to justify our assumptions. Of course, by gossiping, a distorted message becomes even more distorted.

Making assumptions and then taking them personally is the beginning of hell in this world. Almost all of our conflicts are based on this, and it’s easy to understand why.

Assumptions are nothing more than lies that we are telling ourselves. This creates a big drama for nothing because we don’t really know if something is true or not."
