<p>Not a Cantonese word per se, but you can use the good old <code>兼听则明</code>, which means "Listening to both sides of a story makes Jack a bright boy."</p>

<p>A complete form would be <code>兼听则明, 偏信则暗</code>. The latter part means "Believing only one side of a story makes Jack a dumb git."</p>

<p>I'm talking to a friend about something, and she's only presenting one side. So I want to ask about the other side and say, "there are always two sides to every story." What's the best way to say this in Cantonese?</p>

<p>兩全
兩頭蛇</p>

<p>Those don't seem right.</p>

I think 凡事都有两面性 is okay. 凡事=任何事=everything. 任何事物都应该从正反两面考虑。有其利，必有其弊。
