When is it appropriate to offer or give either?
And do you tell it from experience or belief?
Do you know when to shut-up.
Over our lifetime "people will come and people will go". Some making the grandest impact, whether good or bad, and some will just clutter our space.
It is these times when there are some people who enter our lives at the most perfect time and the most perfect place offering the best gifts of all, companionship and friendship.
What do you do with an abundance of wealth which is contained within your heart and soul?
Some see the gift is truly one to be cherished and held to the highest of placement within.
Others might just see it as something to do for now.
Not all mankind seems to think in the past, present, and future...not all mankind even care nor are some capable of carring past unfinished business with newly found treasures.
Do you offer adivce? Or do you offer opinion.
Do you even care? Do you want to care.
Or are you just sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?
Ultimately it comes down to the "how much" of the "do you care" there is.
Advice can be offered and given because there a desire to obtain harmony, solitude and retention of a cherished gift.
Opinion can be offered and given because there is only a desire.
To give advice is to counsel. To offer an opinion is offering a belief.
But the question now is “when” do you “offer or give”?
Do you give/offer “it” when the opportune time rears its head…or do you wait until the perception of the situation is just shy of a World War II fighter plane possibly stuck in a downward spiral about to crash. In either case do you even consider it a worthy cause.
Or do you decide to just pass the time with, “you will be fine” and see where it all goes.
These are the questions which some of us may ask ourselves at selected turning points in our lives with the people or person who has entered our “space”.
Where are you?
Do you care enough?
I do.

I do.
Insight is a gift from God, and you are well blessed my friend. Good luck with your blog and all aspects of your life. Time to jump in my P-51 Mustang, later.
i don't get it.
Nice post. can i have a dollar now?
Diablo, "go ask your mother".
Well this hit home with me! I recently had a real breakdown/cleansing with my best friend of 9 years--the first fight we've ever had. I did fine with #1 and 2, but it was #3 that did me in!
No matter how well intentioned, advice and counsel can reach a point where you've made your voice heard, and hope in time it will resonate with that person. Then let it go! Agree to disagree. Everyone is their own individual and responsible for their choices.
Lovely post.
(BTW, we did make up.)
Free advice is generally worth what one pays for it...nothing.

Better late than never, thank you Libby I appreciate your well wishes.
Hi Margeinmi! Thank you for reading my post. Some times we care too much, isn't it a shame that we do. I am glad you and your friend made up-I'll bet you have a better friendship today?
Hello Camojack nice to hear from another Libby fan. Although some times advice can be worthless it can become handy in unpredicted times.
Next post... Integrity. Where has it gone.
A Libby fan?! That's a bit extreme, fan being shorthand for fanatic an' all. Let's just say we're "blog brothers". I just made the term up; think I should copyright it?
Anyway, I said free advice is generally worth what one pays for it...but not always. Sometimes it can be quite valuable...
