3 sides......

when you read about a situation that has happened from a person impacted, do you consider any other person that may have been involved... or do you make your mind up.

I have found that most times, there are usually 3 sides to any story... the authors, the other persons and the truth sits somewhere between both versions.

Do you consider or just dive right in...

Or steer clear.

And often the first tale is the short side.

I'm pretty fair minded. Truth and fair hearings are important to me.

I listen and think. I never jump in or back people without knowing the other side.

I learn quickly who to steer clear of.

The unreasonable types who will say anything - like a child - simply to have a last word.

Guess it depends on the calibre of the person i'm listening to really View x

I find that as I grow older, with more work and life experience, I am less quick to judge, and am prepared to _iew a situation from as many perspectives as possible before forming an opinion.

Almost always never jump to a knee jerk reaction....there is like you say...three versions of the truth...

When I was younger..I`d rush into judgement on what I was hearing..only to look foolish sometime after..I`m a little wiser these days ..mabye...

Its the things that aren`t said, that can be the more revealing...

Sometimes I just avoid..its best fer my peace of mind..

Great question (especially in light of some of the threads one reads on here).

I think Granny has nailed it for me, Pearls comment around life experience also rings true.

When we were both younger we said we use to jump in without hearing the fully story.

As we have got older we tend to listen more and also ask a lot more questions. This tends to help us a lot as we have two kids at home who constantly argue and fight... but asking more questions the truth tends to come out.

I agree there is 3 sides to every story. In most cases i tend to stay outta of these, as i dont know the people invovled personally,(if talking about on the forums).

I'm naturally argumentative, erm a natural debater, so I always try to see the other side.

depending on situation I may well try to give another opinion, those whoo know me realise I'm simply trying to help.

I think its very easy to just jump in without really thinking about different sides to a situation,Rob is more of an instant reaction type of person whereas I think a bit before I make my mind up about anything

Nothing is as ever clear cut as it may seem at first glance

this is essentially the heart of the timewaster debate...

'did he really break down on the way to meet me... ' ? i bet he never even left home.... etc

peoples attitudes to a story tend to become tainted over time by their own experience. (hence the popularity these days of CBT - trying to re-train the brain to default to looking for another plausible explanation)

it takes a strong character to take each situation on its individual merit every time and not rush to judgement... so whilst i endeavour to look for the second and third side, i know sometimes in truth i dont.
