Mind Reading

"Mind Reading is a dangerous way of perceiving: it precludes empathy altogether. Rather than using empathy to understand the unique communication of the other, both parties assume they know what the other will say. As a result, they make sweeping assumptions that fuel more conflcit and continue the cycle of misunderstanding."
