Advice

Uncategorized 1 Minute

We love giving advice, solicited or unsolicited;
The uninvited suggestions are the most passionate ones to be cited,
Free of charge and filled with tips, baited and at times hated!

Everyone thinks they are the experts, ah so wise!
Doling out suggestions like some valuable prize!
The person receiving it, at best a dumb novice,
Who requires coaching and well meaning advice!

We love giving it, but receiving it fills us with distaste.
Advice often is one way street, rejected in haste
Often in arrogance or misplaced confidence interlaced!

Often seen is thin line between advice and instructions;
One never knows where it starts and then overlaps,
The subtle hints,the opinions suddenly take form of diktats!

Indeed valuable is advice, when it comes from the learned and wise,
Take it with a pinch of salt, aware of the irony yet I would advice!
After all world is filled with people who pretend to be wise!
