off in a village there were two friends (lets say tim and mike) who stayed down the street from each other. Whevever you saw tim, you saw mike, and vice versa. so one day, there was a man who was walking down the street with a black and red hat. But, this was no ordinary hat, see, this hat was all black on one side, and all red on the other. So as the man with the black and red hat walked down the road, he passed by mike's house who stayed on the left side of the road. Mike, being the nice person that he is, spoke to the man and complimented him on his beautiful red hat. Then, the man with the black and red hat reached Tim's house, which is on the right side of the road. Being that Tim and Mike are exactly alike, Tim spoke to the man and complimented him on his beautiful Black hat. As, the sun went down, Tim and Mike got together to eat dinner as they always do at the dinner table. While eating, Tim mentions that he say a man walking down the street with a beautiful black hat on today. So Mike says, "no, no my brother, you are mistaken, his hat was red". "But no, no, my brother, you are mistaken" says Tim, his hat was BLACK. "NO, TIM, YOU ARE WRONG, HIS HAT WAS RED". so now they get into a huge fight which leads outside, where the villagers witness such a terrible fight between these so-called brothers. So after a child hears why these friends are fighting, he yells out, "STOP, BOTH OF YOU ARE WRONG". so finallyTim and Mike stop fighting and ask the child what does he mean, and the child says, you only saw ONE SIDE of the hat, Tim sw the black side and Mike saw the red side, but if you were in the middle of the street like i was, you would have noticed that his hat was black and red.
You see, when you only see one side of something, you are missing the whole picture. The best of friends have been split apart because only one side of the story was told, so if you can always try to get the WHOLE TRUTH, and try to be open-minded about everything.
