OH...I KNOW WHY!

Recently while a guest on the Graham Norton talk show, Bono of the group U2 revealed why he always wears sunglasses. Bono is known for wearing sunglasses at all times whether indoors or outdoors. He shared that he was diagnosed with glaucoma some 20 years ago. The condition results in serious sensitivity to light. It also causes visual disturbances relative to light exposures. So the truth is he needs sunglasses to see. People have speculated for years about the reason for the sunglasses. The way we are wired as human beings, when we don't have all the necessary information about something we automatically fill in the blanks with our own conclusions. These conclusions are based on our previous experiences and core beliefs. Just as nature abhors a vacuum and will always fill it, our mind and thinking operates the same way. For some, concerning Bono, since they didn't have the facts, thinking went something like this; people I've known who always wear sunglasses were arrogant or using drugs. Also, Bono is a Rock band member and they are always arrogant. So, Bono wears the sunglasses because he is arrogant. They were wrong. 

Are there people or situations in your life about whom or which you have 'drawn conclusions' based on information you didn't have?  Oh... maybe I don't know why.
