This Two-Sided Life..............

I have come to realize that everything in life has two sides and it is in one's own best interest to explore both sides before making decisions or reacting to the words of one person over another. Often times, you can have someone come to you with a really juicy/damning story about another person and because this other person might be capable of what is being said about them based on their natural character, you find yourself nodding in total agreement. Meanwhile, if you take time to probe further, you will most likely always out that the first storyteller did not give you a true of full picture of what actually transpired. Why people edit gist/stories/occurrences to favour them over another rather than tell the truth as it is is something I still struggle to come to terms with. Some people will convincingly and conveniently tell you a total fib or split a truth into two and bring the smaller chunk to you, then they stand around and watch you slay the character of the supposed antagonist based on what they have fed you with. How they live with themselves is simply beyond me.

Another thing you also have to bear in mind about this two-sided life we are living is that it cuts across all aspects of living, yes even up to relationships. You can have a friend you love and respect dearly, whom you confide in on everything about your life and this person might not be on the same page with you in the least bit. While you think they are the bees knees, they will stab you in the back without batting an eyelid simply because of this two-sided life which you had no clue existed. Live and learn dear reader, live and learn.
