Advice is something just about everyone has asked for at one point in their life, but is this a good or a bad thing? I believe it can be both good and bad.
A guy just broke up with his girlfriend. The girl (Sarah) is lost and confused and thinks it's going to be the end of the world. She's in her room crying on her bed, thinking the pain will last forever. Then she decides to call her best friend. "He broke up with me, he left me" she sobs through the phone. "Is there any way I can help?" her friend asks. "yeah, can you give me some advice to help me get over him?". Like a good friend, she says yes and gives Sarah her best advice. This could go many ways. Depending on her past and experiences the advice she could give Sarah could be good or bad. Some may say to just simply find another guy and use him as a recovery tool. Or maybe they would offer to go out to the big party that everyone has been talking about and drown her sorrows away in alcohol. That would be bad advice. But there are also people who may give good advice like listening to some upbeat music, or offering to have a movie night, just the two of them. Then again there's also the point of view where she should find her own ways to cope and get over her ex. It's all a matter of opinion. I believe there are times in our lives where advice could be helpful. It could be like teaching your child right from wrong. That's what parents are here for right? To guide us down this path called life. Along with the appropriate times for giving and receiving advice there are also times when it could be a bad thing. Like a friend giving you advice from their past experiences that may not fit yours. Although there are good and bad things about giving advice, why not just stop with all the advice? Some believe it's best to let people live and learn on their own. People can't learn how to do things for themselves or solve their own problems if someone is always there telling them what to do and how to do it. It's a learning process that requires some time for you to live your life, not a life others have chosen for you. I believe unless its absolutely necessary, we shouldn't ask for advice. We should live our lives to meet our own goals, our own beliefs, and make our own paths. It's your life, would you want someone else to choose how you live it? I know I wouldn't.
