Kamál (Perfection), 9 Sulṭán (Sovereignty) 176 B.E. - Monday, January 27, 2020
PROMPT January 27 Invalid Photo #1056988 Discuss a time in your life when someone has tried to "fix" or "solve" a problem for you - but you didn't see it as a problem in the first place. How do you generally handle unsolicited opinions/advice? I do my best to live my life on the rim of the cliff of survival. Advice is nice when I ask for it; however, unsolicited advice is a pain because most of those giving it don't know or understand the circumstances. As I have grown older, and wiser, I realize that people give advice--unsolicited or solicited--from their own experience. My past experience doesn't come anywhere close to theirs, even if it's a sibling I grew up with in the same house. I learned long ago, that we remember the same event differently because we experienced different emotions at the time. In addition, I've found (from experience) that there is a type of "amnesia"--I don't know any other term for it--that causes one sibling to forget a highly emotional experience that the other remembers clearly. People give unsolicited advice from the shoes they walk in not from your shoes. |
