Why is that it is so easy to give advices to other people? And when we are problemized, we turn to other people too? Why don’t we figure it out ourselves? Why is that so?
Well, they’re not the one facing the problem…so it’s easy. They’re not the one experiencing the pressure. They don’t have to think of those things that the person handling the problem could be worrying about. So those with a problem seek advices to other people, whoever they are. Other people can give advice so easily coz all answer to all problems is simple. Only humans make it complicated. As who we are by nature, we have this knack of making simple things to complicated ones. It’s because when we are faced with a problem, we let other thoughts enter before we even can think about the original answer which comes to us naturally. Each of us knows the answer even before we could even think about another solution. Though we know the answer, we tend to turn left and right instead of going straight. So we kind of “need” someone to lead us coz we are blinded. We are blinded with negativity and those unnecessary thoughts. They cloud our thinking, thus we cannot see the pure answers anymore which is in its simplest form. So this is what advices are here for. We seek them coz we know they help us lead to the answer. It may give us the direct way or give us hints and clues to the solutions. We may also receive different answers when we ask advices from anyone. So how do we know which advice is better? People have different perspectives and way of thinking. So if you ask different people, unique as they are, you are given different answers too. Different, but they only lead to one thing. All you have to do which path to choose, they all lead to the same direction-- though only in different ways.
Basically, we seek advice to give us the assurance that the path that we are taking is right even though deep inside we already knew what’s the answer. Therefore, when we seek advices, what we are really seeking for is the assurance, not the advice itself. The assurance that our solutions are fine. That everything will be alright and that everything will turn out just fine.
