Just because someone asks for advice or an opinion doesn’t mean they are going to follow it. They may just want their opinion backed up and when you have an opposing opinion to theirs they may sometimes take offense and get upset depending on the circumstance. I have known many people during my life that give their opinion and advice whether it’s asked for or not.
It is much easier to give advice than to take it regarding anything. Regardless of what I think I never give anyone advice unless I’m asked for it and even then I am reserved in what I might really want to tell them. I like being neutral and I would never point out the err of anyone’s ways because it’s not my place to judge and besides I am not perfect so who am I to hand out advice?
In writing a blog you put out general information that is there and if someone wants to implement it then that’s fine. Many people know the correct way of doing things, but they don’t always put that knowledge to good and practical use. We tend to be so critical of others that we forget to take stock of ourselves. I always like to see the people that are pointing fingers and making snide comments.
I looked up the word snarky and it seems to have several different meanings, but some of the blogs I have visited I think the word describes them perfectly. I enjoyed reading the different meanings that the word has been used for on Google Answers. I think a lot of people use that word to even describe themselves and seem to be quite proud of it, Oh well to each their own.
Most of us also tend to like that old saying, Do as I say, not as I do especially when it comes to our children, but we all know that people will listen with their eyes and heart and follow by example so if you’re doing something that you know isn’t right or healthy for yourself and you don’t want your children to do it, do you think just by telling them not to do it will be enough to discourage them?
