双语智慧书·观点不能有所偏颇

294．观点不能有所偏颇
　　观点不能有所偏颇。每个人都会依据自己的利益而各执己见，并想象自己肯定理由充足。因为大多数人的判断都让步于自身的意愿。可能会发生这种情况：两人针锋相对，各执己见，都认为自己占理。但道理自有其原则，从无两张面孔。在这种困境下，谨慎之人会极其小心，审察对方的观点，也怀疑自己的观点。在此情况下，应换位思考，研究对方的理由，这样，你就不会用如此糊涂的方式来谴责对方，或证明自己。


294．Be moderate in your views
　Be moderate in your views. Everyone holds views according to his interest, and imagines he has abundant grounds for them. For with most men judgment has to give way to inclination. It may occur that two may meet with exactly opposite views and yet each thinks to have reason on his side, yet reason is always true to itself and never has two faces. In such a difficulty a prudent man will go to work with care, for his judgment of his opponent's view may cast doubt on his own. Place yourself in such a case in the other man's place and then investigate the reasons for his opinion. You will not then condemn him or justify yourself in such a confusing way.
