I have been drafting and deleting for sometime now. Either my post is boring (even for me) or they are too preachy.
Ever got free advice? Guess all hands would be up.
Ever given free advice?
I have. Despite hating free advice I have been pretty jolly when dishing out my fundas of life to some poor listener who just couldn't escape.
There have been many times where I have noticed myself, being too nice and acting too good. Righteous to a fault and saying nonsensical things that some gyan-guru should be saying. In short acting like a Righteous-Goose. I would incessantly list out my experiences and my inferences and therefore Lessons for Life kind of opinions to that one poor listener. An after thought would make me feel foolish for having said those things.
My basic life principles are simple. Live and let live. I believe in non-interference. And yet I go against my own principles and punish those poor souls who unwittingly get caught in my net.
There are some who are gullible enough and come ask for advice. Such occasions are like Feasting and I enjoy them to the core. But then these are few and countable and I can hardly imagine what use my words have been.
I, Whom am I? A person who has not been able to figure out my own life, creating and clearing my own mess, confused and conflicted about my own interests, unfocussed and unbalanced at many times, unforgiving and un-forgetful of my own sins, a person with so many other vices that cannot be framed in to pretty words here.
Surprisingly though, the gullible folk do come back for more. Does that mean what I said really worked for them? Am I really that Wise? Am I really underestimating myself?
Well the simple answer is that, I was experiencing a Brief Spell of Smartness and knew what to tell. And the other party experienced a Brief Spell of Understanding to interpret a deeper meaning to what is being said.
Advice has never worked for me though. I only seem to learn through my own experience. The idea of reading a Self Help book seem so repulsive that I do not even walk near that aisle in a Library. That is the same way I got to realise that I am FREE ADVICE MANIAC.
But lo and behold! Return for my Imperfections where I forget my own Lessons and do the same mistakes once again. But with a small difference. Earlier it used to take a long time to realise what I have done. Now I seem to realise a little quicker. An improvement nevertheless. Hoping that some day that I will be able to realise in advance and avoid the MISTAKE altogether.
Till then I should probably continue declaring that I am a Perfect Human because Humans are IMPERFECT. (But then by being perfect I am being a imperfect Human and therefore a perfect human and therefore an imperfect human....aaargh!!!!)
What was the point in this post anyway? God Only Knows!!
