We all have our own lives, we should sometimes worry about the next foot steps we are taking and worry about our own lives and not how someone else should live theirs. Yes, there are exceptions. But for the most part- Live and let live.! 

Who am I To tell you my everything You are you, And you are what you bring Who am I, To tell you how to react You are you, And you know how you want to act Who am I To tell you how to raise your child You are you And if you like you can raise them wild Who am I To tell you what to wear You are you I can't make you cut your hair Who am I To tell you what you should give You are you Who am I to say how you should live

Hi Faraz, yes absolutely...that's why in my notes I said "There are exceptions...Taking advice from others is a good thing, as long as the advice is in truth and truly comes from one's heart in good intentions. It is also a good thing to give advise as long as it's advice and not persuasion.. Charlie
