Seems Right Until...

____________________

The one who states his case first
seems right,

until the other comes
and examines him

- Proverbs 18:17
____________________

The first side of the story always sounds right until the other side of the story is heard. The truth of this proverb is often demonstrated in various circumstances at work. For instance when we respond to a domestic violence incident we separate the parties and begin to interview them one at a time. The first to speak always sounds right until the second party speaks. Often times the truth lay somewhere in between the two accounts.
