well-meaning poor advice

the world is not short of this, and will never be.

(i am possibly quite a frequent contributor)

what to do?

sometimes we're supposed to listen to our own intuition.
sometimes we're supposed to just trust someone who has been there.
sometimes we're supposed to do nothing, ride the wave, and see where it takes us.

things get complicated when we only have one shot, no chance for trial-and-error, there's no turning back.

actually. these are the best times to remember the illusion of freewill. (and that goes for the advice-giver too).

even before the decision itself, we couldn't have decided any other way, even if we tried.
