Advice

Sometimes people give us good advice. Sometimes they give us poor advice. How do we know when it is bad or good? How do we know when food is good or bad? By tasting it. Sometimes we assume certain foods are good because we know the cook, and we immediately believe the food is good because we know who prepared it. But how can one "taste" advice? Is someone advising you to break the law? Don't do it. Is someone advising you to hurt someone else? ( or possibly yourself) Don't do it. Is someone advising you to severely offend your friends, family or anyone else ? Don't do it. Is someone advising you to violate your creed or religious code? Don't do it. Is someone advising you to harm your health? Don't do it. Is someone advising you to give up something of value? Don't do it. Please be aware that some of the advice you receive is at times triggered by someone's jealousy of you. This, of course, is truly sad. I am not encouraging paranoia, but I encourage you to be "wise as serpents and harmless as doves." "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly." Ungodly counsel is self-explanatory. Do not take it.
