advice vs judgement

Oh for pete's sake...

 

If you have judged stepping in dog shit to be good than your advice would be to step in it.

 

Who is pete? This is for Marie's sake. She asked.

 

This is starting to get silly, isn't it, Super Grrl?

 

I don't like to give advice to most people because they never seem to really want it. They just want me to tell them that whatever they're doing is the right thing to do. People don't generally want to know the truth and I don't know what the truth is anyway.

I also don't usually like it when people give me advice either and I rarely take it.

I think it all depends on the person though. There are a few people who I give advice to and who I take advice from. Only really close friends though.

 

lol...this is for marie's sake. that was funny.
i was actually asking it in reference to trish, yes. but when i wrote to her in that thread, i honestly wasnt trying to pass judgement in the least. i am far from perfect. no where near actually.

i think what i meant to ask is that if someone asks something and you feel they could be harming themselves that is ok to offer them a hand and your heart? what if that offering sounds like advice?

 

alot of times marie it isnt what we say to folks that is a judgement

the mind of the person receiving the info is taking it as a judgement

and as we all know we all think on different levels and planes and are in different places in our lives so therefor judgement is merely nothing more than an opinion one takes at any given moment in time..

 

Gee thanks!

Here I stumbled into the random thoughts forum thinking this would be some random thought about some random event in someone's life, so I gave a decent generic response, not knowing the relevant details... Had I realized the background story on this question, I would have stayed out of it...

 

Not really. Most people that want advice on things I usually have some to offer through expierence so I dont judge. Mainly things ive seen dealing with advice are family related. Ive been through dealing with about every somewhat known mental disorder. Ive seen so many things happen in my family. Been through alcohol overdoses, suicide attempts, death, relatives going to jail (im not saying I od'd on alcohol or tried to attempt suicide, im saying family has). All sorts of stuff. So no, I dont really judge because its probably somthing ive been through.

 

*laughs* Thank you for explaining to me what I really mean't OSF, otherwise how would I know? Is there anything else going on in my head that I should know about?

 

we are all just victoms of our own desire's..LOL

 

...and ours and other peoples ignorance.

 

I can understand why you'd feel that way about it your Honor.

 

You got that right OlHippie... goodness me!!
