TWO

March 6, 2025 Jeff Reed

add up the sides to any story

you’ll ever hear: it will be two,

always two, no matter

how complex the plot, how few

the cast of characters,

and whether or not

they roll the dice or toss a coin—

tails, heads, heads, tails—

every twist and turn of the train

forever on two rails.



Note:  A great quote by Jonathan Edwards:

“There are always two sides to every story, and it is generally wise, and safe, and charitable, to take the best; and yet there is probably no one way in which persons are so liable to be wrong, as in presuming the worst is true, and in forming and expressing their judgement of others, and of their actions, without waiting till all the truth is known.”

—Jonathan Edwards, Charity and Its Fruits: Christian Love as Manifested in the Heart and Life
