Quote by Thomas C. Haliburton

Hear one side and you will be in the dark. Hear both and all will be clear.

Hear one side and you will be in the dark. Hear both and all

Summary

This quote suggests that to gain a complete and accurate understanding of a situation, it is essential to listen to multiple perspectives. Merely hearing one side of an argument or story can leave us ignorant and in the dark about the full picture. However, by considering both sides, we open ourselves up to different viewpoints and increase the likelihood of achieving clarity and comprehension. It emphasizes the importance of being open-minded and willing to consider diverse opinions in order to form well-rounded and informed perspectives.

But, at the end of the day, we need to represent the taxpayers who have made enormous sacrifices. Many have lost their jobs.
