The Three Sides to Every Story

If there was anything that I learned from Sherrilyn Kenyon - and I'm speaking generally, not just her DH novels - it's this:  there are three sides to every story.  There are the views of each person involved, and there is the truth.

Truth is relative.  Each person belives what they will based on what they have seen, heard or felt.  Which pretty much means that there are various versions of "the truth" in any given situation.  Therefore, it's really hard to make the call as to who's right and who's wrong. 

We determine what's true based on what we see with our own eyes and/or what we know about the person telling us their side of the story.  Have they said something before that we haven't believed.  If they have, we are not as likely to believe them.  Even as humans, we're prone to error.  It's almost impossible to side with anyone unless we have seen things happen with our own eyes.  Yet we do anyways.  There are those of us who will make those judgement calls, and determine what the feel is "truth".  That's how it always is.  That's what we're taught to do.  To make decisions that we feel is right.  As long as we can justify that decision to believe whom or what we will, it's considered to be the truth. 

Whatever "actually" happened?  That's anyone's guess.  And it's open to interpretation. 

So there really are three sides to every story.  The two that everyone knows about.  And the one that is going to be ever evasive...
