Under Gods Command

Proverbs 18.13,15,17 – 13)He who answers before listening-that is his folly and his shame.15)The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge; the ears of the wise seek it out. 18)Casting the lot settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart.   

In these concise statements, there are three basic principles for making sound decisions: (1) get the facts before answering; (2) be open to new ideas; (3) make sure you hear both sides of the story before judging. All three principles center around seeking additional information.  This is difficult work, but the only alternative is prejudice-judging before getting the facts.
