"To find oneself caught between two fires" is an expression whose image gives a clear idea of a certain situation you, too, might end up in. Imagine two of your friends, or dear ones, who are presently experiencing a great contrast in their relationship. Each tells you the problem from their personal point of view and expects your favorable reaction and support. If you realize that one of them is positively right, you may find a way to express your opinion kindly to the one you believe to be wrong. But if you detect truth in each of their complaints or accusations, if you can see the two opposite standpoints and...agree with both, what do you do? You literally find yourself between two "fires". How can you support each position without disappointing the other? Is there a fair way to do the right thing?
