Everybody is always giving advice. They mean well.
They identify something you are struggling with and offer ways to cope with it. In other words they tell you what they would do.
If you consider every human to be an individual, then maybe advice should be stricken from the dictionary.
It could be replaced by the heavy intellectuality and deeply probing insight of the phrase "just sayin."
If every human is unique, than the possibility certainly exists that what works for one could not possibly work for another. Maybe not possibly work for any other human.
Taking the thought process deeper, what happens if advice is giving to someone who is not even living their own life?
Someone trapped in a hideous parallel side life, a parallel dimension, that swirls in psychedelic madness.
A person staggering through a life that is not theirs, does not need advice. Could not possibly accept or act on it.
That person needs a stick of dynamite, a tab of blotter acid, Jesus, Marc Maron, a machete or a very fast car.
A person like that is utterly alone.
A person like that can appreciate the intentions behind the advice giving, while simultaneously feeling attacked, belittled or judged by the advice giver.
Factor in the psychoses and neuroses of the advice giver, mix well with those of the advice receiver, and you get one hell of a batch of cookies.
Just sayin'.
