My Misgivings About Advice

I am repeatedly moved by this and other reminders of how easy it is to violate the soul of another being by casually give advice, and how normal it is in most conditioned societies! In my silent meditation practice, many times followed by walking meditation, I practice being the conscious observer, slowing things down. I will use that practice to be mindful in such situations. And I remember our son since childhood would clearly tell us "Don't tell me what to do!" That's a good reminder too!
