I came to this site looking for an answer. I suggested that my friend should perhaps try a more natural laundry detergent, as it is healthier for herself and the environment, and that dryer sheets cause cancer, and she blew up at me and called me pretentious. I am not pretentious, I am just trying to help the environment. How should we properly help save the planet which is undergoing ecological crisis and not give unsolicited advice? What is right? Should I say nothing and just let it continue? That doesn't seem better to me. That would mean we should have just not fought for abolishment of slavery or any other human right because we shouldn't give unsolicited advice. I don't think that idea works in every case.

If I give unsolicited advice I am only feeding my ego and "if you can spot it, you've got it". If I am busy telling you about how angry you are, it's 'cos I am too. This always works and I have found great value in keeping my trap shut. I know it's tempting to get in there and tell someone what they ought to be doing but who am i to judge what they are doing anyway. No, I stay out of giving advice and if I do, it's in minute amounts. That way they wont be able to blame you if it goes wrong, which is why most people ask for advice in my experience. Great blog. Cheers. Couldn’t agree more. If I give unsolicited advice I am only feeding my ego and “if you can spot it, you’ve got it”. If I am busy telling you about how angry you are, it’s ‘cos I am too.

Kind of. ;-) Great stuff as always. Hey Jason, if you voluntarily came to the site, then it actually was solicited advice. Kind of. ;-)
