Adverse to the Vice of Advice

We all give and get it. If you’re ill… drink your own pee, or something along those lines :s. Do we really wanna help or are we just programmed to give out advice. After ‘someone’ got deported they were told a hundred and one things they ‘should have done’. Yeah thats a big help, thank you. I say listen to your instinct. If it concerns your body and you’re usually healthy… listen to it. Use some intelligence of course. Remember that story of the old man, the kid and the donkey? If they kid was on the donkey others would comment on the old man should be the one on it. When old man was on… comments on the kid should be on. When both were on… poor donkey. Think they ended up carrying the donkey instead… Again… keep others advice and opinions in mind but don’t let it sway your main decision. Do you! Another thing I feel this advice stuff is about is laziness. Not purposely but like folks can’t really be bothered to help you so they give you the instructions. I’m not saying all advice is bad but some folks end up over doing it… and I’ve noticed its the same folks that like talking a lot. Oh what did you do last night, I just ate and watched TV. Yeah? Well you should have done this and that instead. Ok let me get my remote and rewind to last night again to fulfill your commands!

My point is advice is wasted. My spiritual guru calls them orphans lol. Coz the giver dishes them out while the receiver does not take it. The only people you should give advice to are the ones asking for it… and even them… you have to be careful how you give it and what dosage you give. Mostly because sometimes the one asking for the advice is really just bringing it up for show… they want you to feel they’re trying to improve or whatever… I know coz I do it to shut these advice givers up. The other case I noticed is folks asking for advice only as an excuse to bring up a certain topic they need to get off their chest. Lots of folks will come to me telling me they’re stressed and wanna know more about meditation… but I’ve noticed they wanna drop the load of whats really stressing them. So yeah… we know we all give advice, it’s a programmed response… hell we even give advice to shut others up… which brings me to my point. My ‘advice’ is even if you do give advice, don’t hold on to the goal expecting the person to take it. There’s always someone who needs advice but only the ones that want it will take it.
