DON'T GET INVOLVED IN THINGS WHERE YOUR OPINION WASN'T ASKED!

DON'T GET INVOLVED IN THINGS WHERE YOUR OPINION WASN'T ASKED!

 

Don't get involved in things where your opinion wasn't asked for! Doesn't the person want to study? Leave them alone! Doesn't respect their parents? What do you have to do with that? The person wants to continue to live a futile life, in mediocrity and even in promiscuity? You have nothing to do with that! Dear reader, put yourself in their shoes!

 

1. No one asked for your opinion!

 

2. You are not the owner of the truth to judge whether that behavior is good or bad. You have your own truth, which, for others, may also be wrong.

 

But what I'm here to discuss in this text is the fact that you want to give advice.

 

A practical example of this: You're at the gym and there's a person doing an exercise wrong. The teachers have already talked to the person, but continue to do it wrong. Then out of nowhere you show up to guide them. Dear reader, the person doesn't want your opinion/advice! The person wants to do the exercise (their own way) and leaves. You, for wanting to do the right thing, still come across as ‘annoying’, ‘snobbish’, ‘stuck up’. You try to help and the person still makes fun of you or, worse, simply gets upset with you. But why? Because he/she didn’t ask for your guidance!

 

Dear reader, do your thing and let the rest go to hell!
