Is it good to give advice?

In my life and throughout my years I have gone through so many circumstances, that’s why I always write from my perspective, from the particular of each of my experiences.

Generally my posts are based on the knowledge acquired through my personal circumstances, there have been many because from an early age I have had to fight too much to achieve and reach my goals.

I received a lot of help, because God always sends his angels to protect us, do you know that we all have a guardian angel? Do you know that they are sent by our father to be with us always? When was the last time you talked to your guardian angel and thanked him for being your faithful guardian?

From unsplash.

Do you remember that prayer they teach us as children… guardian angel, sweet companion, do not forsake me... do you remember it? Well, they are with us not only during the nights, they are also with us in the course of the day.

Have you put your angel to work lately? Or is he full of cobwebs because you haven't called him since your childhood? I invite you to seek him out again and trust him.

This is a personal advice, I like to give advice and always have, but you know what? Sometimes our advice is not useful to others because it is in our memory as an experience as a result of our personal way of facing our difficulties.

Maybe our experiences have very personal details, it’s our own special way of solving a problem or dealing with them. The traumatic and personal events of others also have the implicit details of the way in which they are presented. Much like our own, problems sometimes have similar topics but never the same.

When people ask for our advice on how to act at a particular time, we must understand in great detail all the details of the issue at hand.

Especially when the situation in conflict involves other people, everyone has their own way of looking at their problem and wanting to be right about everything is always our biggest problem.

When giving advice we must keep in our mind that we don’t know the complete truth of the facts. We only have a part of a person's opinion and on that opinion we give our advice.

We may be wrong in making our opinion clear. We may be making an erroneous judgment because we do not know all the facts, therefore our advice given with the best of our faith may be affecting another person indirectly and we do not know it.

I was listening to a sister in Christ and Mary making a discussion about giving advice and the way in which people who are of good faith give it.

This sister, who is a person qualified to give advice and counsel in conflict situations, says that we Christians should ask the Holy Spirit for discernment when we want to give good advice to troubled people with problems.

Because many times our advice, instead of helping others, produces another detrimental effect to the second person of the conflict and we worsen the whole matter.

What would you do, if I asked you I want to get a divorce because I dislike the way he does this and that? I would like to read your answer to this question and what you think about it.

When it comes to friends who are going through very serious problems let's not make a hasty decision, let us advise them to seek a solution to the conflict with people who have the professionalism to do so. In that case these professionals will give them the best solution and with the appropriate tools so that the conflict ends and is settled in the best way for those involved.

A little advice given without malice and in order to help end a dispute is always well advised.

My advice, after listening to the teaching of this sister in Christ and Mary, is that if we want to help, we should advise people to go to specialists when the conflict is so big that it could cause a fracture in the family or destruct the lives of others.

Small pieces of advice always given in good faith as if they are suggested to ourselves are always good to give, but let us not tell other people to do things that we ourselves could not cope with. Let us be wary of the fear of God by causing harm to others by wanting to act in a good way.

Somehow, I consider myself as a good advicer but if it's something I have not experienced it yet (divorce), I'll be a good listener instead.

I believe giving advice is something you must apply to yourself too rather than just utter a word that would make the situation change for the worst.

It is highly recommended to not let your pride take over because it is very dangerous, you can make a drastic decision you'll regret after.

Right. Making decisions abruptly always brings difficulties that we will think about later.

I think i will advise that someone to realize on her/his own if what she's feeling is love or not or perhaps evaluate the partner if the feelings is true because how can someone ask for separation just because there are things he/she doesn't like in the relationhip? They should talk about it first

A lot of people are asking me to have some advice. At first I'm listening to the problem. How it started, when it started and why it occurred in the first place. If there are two sides involved I even asked for their side to talk. And then that's the time when I will give an advice. My advice depends on everything I don't want to give advice with just few information with me. I always look for the wider views so I can gave advice correctly. After that I always saying to people I'm giving advice to that. "Everything I said are just insight and for perspective of mine. It's on you if you'll gonna follow mine or not. It's just me giving you a wider view, in the end the next step of yours will be by you and you always. Think first before making your next move"

@gertu13 let me tell you something that It's our moral job to protect the people from bad things, bad thoughts when we come to know that they will suffer.

I think giving advice from personal experiences is our duty. So we should do our duty and left the rest on the others weather they take it or leave it. In this way at we did our job, at least we wouldn't regret when we will see them suffering. We can tell ourselves that We tried from our side.

You're right we should be praying for discernment in giving advices to someone. The problem sometimes is empathy, we lost the prayer part sometimes, because we pity them and we want to give instant solutions.

Giving advices is never easy. Before we give our advice, we need to know first the whole story or the other side of the coin. It is not fair to give advices or utter some words without even hearing the whole story. Also, when someone is sharing his or her problems to us, don't just focus on the things that you will gonna say. Always remember that it not always about us. Observed first, ask the person if he eants an advice or just an ear to listen hihi.

I haven't remember my mother told me about guardian angel it is only in school have I known the guardian angel prayer. About your question: If I have married young maybe divorce and separation would be easily be spout from my mouth but since I married late and matured, I have stretched my patience like a chines garter and keep telling myself that simple conflicts could be mend and patch up and not a valid reason to end up the contract. To enter into another relationship is not easy and hard to find and it is God who bind the knot and we must not let anyone untie it.

It depends on the situation! Giving advice is whole lots different depending on the person to whom we are giving the advice. But as for me, it is really okay to give advice especially those who really need the advice the most, someone whose circumstances required great decisions to make,, before you give an advice make sure you're more oñ his/her side no matter what.

I always give advice, especially if a friend reached me out for it. But before I give some, I always make sure to look at both sides of the situation and give my opinion and I always try to empathize. I always make sure to put myself in their shoe. Some will actually listen, and some will not. And that is okay for me. Because after all, it will still be them who will decide for themselves.

Giving advice is sometimes difficult. Especially, in sensitive topics such as divorce. In those cases, I prefer to serve as a listener than giving advice.

It is true, sometimes it is preferable to keep quiet and not have to regret having made a bad advice. It is a trick question.

Haha wait I know I always have a gurdian angel but I didn't thank him lol, now I just thought of it haha. I always say thankyou to god and not to my gurdian angel lol ..😆 🤧 Anyway i love giving advice too but when I see what I'm advising it's just likr nothing to him/her. he/she still doing, and then he/she want my advise again I'm too lazy to speak na haha. .and I'm not one sided I want to know everything first before giving advice because sometimes instead of helpingthe situation, only gets worse because we don't really know the truth and what's happening in the situation.

This is my view, I give advice but sometimes because I know it will help them but in reality, I am also the one needed that advice that comes from my mouth. I opened my mouth to what I needed and it becomes a bit of advice.

Sometimes I am good at giving advice but bad at advising myself haha. I let other people know my lessons from my own experience but can't sometimes apply them to myself when the same situation happens again. Lol.

About the divorce.. I'm not a married person so I can't say much about it. But before going through that decision, the person should think well if her decision is really right. Maybe she's just exhausted and needs a rest. If things can still be fixed, they better fix it before it gets worse. Divorce isn't the best option when things aren't doing well anymore. Regrets might happen next.

I think it is good to advise others on what has helped us first.

You answered it well to my way of seeing things. It is never good to make such a drastic decision when you have not exhausted your resources. And a separation because you don't like things about your partner...no...maybe if you ask him he also has things he dislikes and puts up with it. It's a rather trick question. Thanks for reading.

Giving advice depending on the situation. Sometimes we give advice based on experience and sometimes we're not thinking enough and let the mouth carry on even if we aren't sure if we're helping or adding salt to the wound.

I will answer this "I want to get a divorce because I dislike the way he does this and that?"

I don't like that my husband just throws his dirty socks on the floor. I don't like him playing with my hair. I don't like him watching with a high volume on at night when we're about to sleep.

But then again I do things he doesn't like. I always keep the blanket all to myself. I always glug the water thirstily. My hair is everywhere.

You know we both have things to complain to each other. But he will never be him if he doesn't do the things that he's doing. And I will not be me if I'm not doing those stuff.

It's not about what they do. It's about them, we love them with all those flaws and they are lovable too. If I want a divorce for what he's doing surely he wants the same. 🤣
