It is imperative to know both sides of a story because by hearing only one side of a story, a person may not get the whole picture of what actually happened. By being able to know both sides of the story, a person is more likely to get all of the facts regarding what happened with a specific event. Your thoughts on this?

If you have to give your opinion it's very essential to listen to both sides of story.

Yes , I also believe in that way. It's better that I know the both side of the story.

Yes of course. Each side is always biased toward itself.

Yes, you must get both sides of the story. It reminds me of something Dr. Phil used to say. No matter how flat you make a pancake, it still has two sides.
