" Stupidity lies in wanting to draw conclusions. "

We often tend to leap to a conclusion without sufficient information to rationalize it. People tend to rely on intuition or sometimes on their observation and try to draw inferences from it.

Jumping right to the conclusion of every discussion is stupidity, as we tend to overestimate everything and our resolution can be wrong. Sometimes we rush into an interpretation of something and later regret it. The temptation of knowing a thing should be resisted in order to focus on the problems or discussion.

Don't make snap judgments and reactions, release the tension so our brain can generalize the information peacefully. Sometimes not concluding things is the best conclusion.
