I recently posted a story with 13 short statements filling in the blank after "I believe ________". One of those was "two wrongs do not a right make and no opposing rights need be wrong"

I had this parable in mind that you may recall seeing from me in some of my essays.

A young couple are having marital problems. The wife’s mother takes them to see the Rabbi. The wife speaks first and tells the Rabbi what’s going on and her complaints. The Rabbi says, “You’re right.” Husband says, “but wait you didn’t hear me yet.” Husband tells his side of things, and the Rabbi says, “You’re right.” Then the wife’s mother exclaims, “Wait, you said they’re both right, how can this be,” and the Rabbi says, “You’re right!”

If you or any of your readers want to see more of the 13 short statements, which are all in the form of senryu, tanka, or monoku, https://medium.com/write-under-the-moon/what-i-believe-c90b971c55d5
