Both Sides of the Coin In every passionate disagreement there is a kernel of truth that the opposing side cannot refute. The illusion that keeps us apart is that these opposing truths are different and implacable; they are different sides of the same coin and to deny the other side is to deny your own. A coin, like life, cannot exist with only one side. |
