text: Why should we listen to all sides of the story? Wouldn't it be better to just know one and stick with it? No! hearing all of the sides of a story helps you form better opinions and ideas. You can combine your ideas and opinions to make better, more thought out ideas. Hearing all sides of the story is also way more fair than only listening to one person and refusing to listen to any one else. If you do that, then how will you know if the choice you made is the right choice? Can you live with yourself forever knowing that you made the wrong decision?
