giving and taking advice, a Poll

[Diana]

Giving advice is like throwing seeds into the wind. It is scattering potential. Sometimes the seeds will take root, sometimes not.

Advice is a gift, and it best be given without attachment, in my opinion. If it is given with attachment to an outcome, then it is tied to control, and becomes conditional rather than unconditional. I do realize that advice is often given with much love, but still, as with any gift, once it leaves your hands it's best not to judge what another does or doesn't do with it.
