Advices

Advices - Things you say to others in times of distress. Words of comfort, allowing the opposite party to be at ease, to feel more at home.

I think many people strive to be the almighty one who delivers top notch advices at first hand to people in trouble. I also think that these people don't need to try so hard, because:

1)People won't look for you in the first place if you're not the one they think they can count on for some ideal advice.
2)Sometimes keeping quiet is the best solution to any situation.

I think the former needs no explaination, and on to the latter. I'm not sure if advice is what most people are looking for at most times, but you sure do know that these people do need a listening ear. This applies for myself for sure, because when I'm down and all, all I want to do is for someone who can listen, and whom I know will be interested in listening to what I have to say. She doesn't have to be the one to give the best advices, but little words that respond to what I have to say every now and then work miracles. I mean afterall, I'm there because I've got things inside my heart waiting to pour out isn't it?

So whether your situation is of a first or second category, you're not exactly that hopeless really. But again, if you're the kind to give advices, is giving the best advices always the good solution? I live by my principles, and I try my best to practice what I preach. Okay maybe not preach, but advice, or basically just my philosophy of life. You know it's really difficult sometimes to do what you actually think you can do? Like the age old saying: Saying is one thing, doing is another. How much truth holds in this statement, tell me.
