Always two sides to a story

As a Judge’s Daughter and yes, I actually worked in the justice system for 4 + years as an Associate Probation Officer, I know that there are always two sides to a story.

There’s always right vs wrong. There is always a version of the truth that is unsaid. There is usually money on either side (sometimes that comes into play).

I know that in today’s world, especially on Social Media one must be careful of what they write or even in public, be careful of what’s being said, because it can be misconstrued of what the facts usually are.

Now, you might be reading this dear reader, and saying to yourself, you know, I think this writer might have a point, but I’m too scared to write what my opinion is, because I will get chastised or worse, lose friends that I’ve had for years because I don’t agree or agree with you.

Stuff happens, and things get out of control. Spinning around and around is not going to solve the problem.

Things are vague on certain media for a reason and then you do some digging or research, you find out, oh, hey, maybe I shouldn’t support that fun thing I was doing because of x or y reason.

Everyone has that right to not be a part of something they love anymore for reasons.

I’m just writing the fact that everyone should have a right to both sides to the story before any judgement has been handed down. Thanks to the internet, almost everything is true, oh wait, it’s not?

My point here is to get all the facts before you make any difficult decision. It’s your life.
