"Chaque vérité a deux côtés; il est aussi bien de regarder les deux avant de nous engager sur l'un ou l'autre."

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine two friends who have a disagreement. One friend says they were hurt by something the other did, while the other friend believes they were entirely fair. To truly understand what happened, it's important to listen to both friends and see their perspectives. Each side of the story helps to create a full picture of the situation. For example, in a courtroom, a judge listens to both the person accused of a crime and the person who feels wronged. Only by hearing both sides can the judge make a fair decision. Similarly, in everyday life, before making a choice or forming an opinion about something, it's wise for us to consider all the information available. This balanced approach helps us avoid misunderstandings and make better decisions.
