Many expressions and quotations have been used to describe the status of advice, whether given, or received. One such expression is "Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't." ~Erica Jong, How to Save Your Own Life, 1977. This particular quotation pertains the belief system that states that the answers to one's questions are within themselves, and do not come from any external stimuli. The accuracy of this particular belief is often disputed among theologians, philosophers, etc. However, a person who would hold such a belief, would "advise" another person to seek the answers out from within one's own esoteric and inner spiritual natures. Advice when adhered to and followed may be beneficial, non-beneficial, damaging, non-damaging, partially beneficial and partially damaging, in reference to personal or social paradigms. In other words, not all advice is either "all good" or "all bad." Therefore some people may come to the conclusion that advice is morally better to be left out of the equation altogether, and this theory is included within the following quote: "The best advice is this: Don't take advice and don't give advice." ~Author Unknown Yet, often times in society advice has been helpful. A more day to day example would be "Eat your vegetables." or "Don't drink and drive." If this advice is adhered to we can see that the benefits would outweigh the consequences. |
