Yet another rant...

Why do people ask for advise but refuse to take them?!

I'll let it pass once, twice, maybe even three times, but consistently so??? I get annoyed. If you don't trust my judgement and advice, then why ask me???

I am not saying I know everything or I am always right, but really, if you don't like what I say, disagree with my philosophy of life, then why ask?

Strange.

Imagine this:

You go to a cafeteria.
The desert table has 8 kinds of deserts on it.
Each desert has a small plate next to it, with a 'sample'.
You can take a bite of 8 different deserts.
Then you decide which one you like the most and you chose it.

Same goes with advice.
Some people want to grow, learn, change.
Those are 1 in 1.5 million.
The rest?
They want 8 different opinions.
They will select the opinion that matches what they WANT TO DO........and say "oh thank you for the advice, I took your advice and it worked out!!"

When people want my advice?
I point them to Scripture.
It's never wrong.

Laura - I'm all for scripture sister! But some things just aren't in there, kwim? Eg. how should I organise my shelves/cupboards or something along those lines.

These aren't what I call, salvation issues. :)

I have people like that too. I have learnt to give a 'short-sweet-simple' answer, something that will not take lots of efforts from me.

And, I also learn to answer a question with more questions before giving my point of view.
