In research methods we were taught that for every experiment where there were hypotheses being tested, we should always state our null hypothesis. 

The next time you feel compelled to act, say something, have made an assumption or created a story and narrative in your head, remember your null hypothesis and know that you may not need to act, say anything, or assume correctly. Be sure to question your perspective and always seek to broaden your perspective. 

Not all information requires action.
