There were those times when my younger brother, Terry, and I would get into battles that resulted in pushing or shoving, or worse. Occasionally, I would start a fight with my brother, only to have mom or dad walk in during Terry’s retaliation.
Terry would get punished even though he didn’t start the fight. Had my parents listened to both sides of the arguments, I would have been punished instead.
Proverbs 25:7 teaches, “What you have seen with your eyes do not bring hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end if your neighbor puts you to shame?”
In business, there are times when you may see only part of a dispute. Don’t be too quick to judge, the facts may be much different than your perceptions.
