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.
17) The first to present his case seems right , till another comes forward and questions him
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.
