giving and taking advice, a Poll

[Agua del Cielo]

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.

I absolutely agree with you!
I just seem to have difficulties with this, i find i cannot detach from it at the moment without dissociating a part of me.
Something seems to be connected with it, that i did not yet understand.
Maybe its that it leads me to question my "service"which might result in either refining it so it is more helpful or in realizing, that the kind of "service" i can offer is not something that is useful in a internet forum.

I have not much choice anyway but to follow what arises :/
