“In case of dissension never dare to judge till you've heard the other side”
— Euripides

Simplified Meaning:
When people disagree, it's important not to make a decision until you have listened to both viewpoints. Imagine two friends arguing about why one of them is upset. If you only listen to one friend, you might miss important information and misunderstand the situation. By hearing both sides, you get a clearer picture of what's really going on and can make a fair judgment. For example, in history, judges in court listen to both the accused and the accuser before making a ruling because doing so ensures justice and fairness. In your life, when you have disagreements at work or at home, remember to take time to listen to everyone involved before forming an opinion. This way, you show respect and make better decisions.
