Based Upon The Quality Of Your Assumptions

Most of what you have mentioned to me,
I am not aware of at all.
It certainly conflicts,
With what I have come to understand.

'Surprised by that I am not.
You are amongst the many living a life,
Based upon the quality of your assumptions.
However...
I do acknowledge this.

Am I about to make attempts to convince you,
There are others ways you can validate...
Truth and its importance to achieve mental relief?
I could if I persisted,
By making to you recommendations.'

Oh?
Seriously?
No way!

'Way.'

How?
I've got to hear this.
I'm all ears.

'Well...
You could ask me directly first.
That's one way.
Or...
You could choose not to be so quick,
To repeat everything you hear...
Until you have gotten that information,
From the horse's mouth.'

You know...
I was told you say some crazy stuff.
Thanks for validating that.
I can't wait to tell others you told me,
That a horse knows more about you...
Than I already know!
Yep!
What I've heard about you is correct.
You are totally out of your mind.
You're nuts.

'I appreciate that.
And coming from you...
I regard that as a compliment.'

**You could choose not to be so quick,
To repeat everything you hear...
Until you have gotten that information,
From the horse's mouth.**
You don't know how hysterical you are.
Funny and sad at the same time.

'Trust me...
I do.
I know I have my issues.
But this too shall pass.'

Stop it. Stop it.
I am about to laugh in your face.
