The truth cannot come out while it is separated into several parts.  Sure you can tell me something is true, and I can believe you, and take your side, but what if the other side is someone I trust too?  So unless the two sides talk things out together, Parts of the whole truth will stay away from one another like Tyson and Holyfield 10 seconds after someones ear was bitten off.

An individual can tell me its their spouses fault, but unless I hear from both sides together, “it’s a two way street baby”.

Two friends can stay away from one another for an extended period of time because of an offense that has taken place, but unless the offended takes it up with the offensive, its called “gossip”.

A friend and a family member can accuse one another of horrendous things in some sort of religious civil war, but unless the two sides meet, the body of Christ is the one who falls, and guess who will be the one to keep it all down?

(in a church lady voice) Could it be…?
