All of today I keep getting examples of when only one side of the story is told. This started early this morning in choir when we were watching West Side Story. Everyone was mad at Maria for being in love with Tony, the man who killed her brother, Bernardo (or something like that)...the little interesting side note though is that before that Bernardo had killed Tony's best friend, everyone seems to forget that little detail. Another example is today in Bible when Angelica pointed out Ryan for ignoring her in front of his cousins when he saw her at the movie theater...The behind the scenes with Ryan interview reveals that the day before Ryan had told her when, which movie, and which theater he was going to (she made no reaction that would suggest she was going)...So in fact he was being stalked...She did not reveal this minor detail. The final one is a Pokemon reference...I know what your thinking. Well in this one people were building a dam, but a mole-like pokemon called Diglett kept stopping trucks from getting through, however it is revealed later that the Diglett do this because if the dam is finished not only their homes, but the homes of other pokemon in the area would be destroyed, so that was the other side to that coin. (That was probaly a very true comparison to what humans to do animals sadly, but in the episode they stopped building the dam once this was realized) So I think after the repeated lessons this day on not to judge something by what is heard first, I think I will take the time more often to look at the story from both sides (even though this is what I usually do, and often times pick a neutral state) *One of the only times I will allow the h word in any kind of form, I detest it but I think it fits well for this topic*
