text: Usually when you have to make a choice, the few options make it hard to come to a decision. But asking people for their opinion make it easier to come to make a choice. It might not make sense that asking people for their opinion will magically create more options to choose from. That's not what it does exactly, but it does give you more "combinations". Let's say you were debating whether you should get a dog or not. You couldn't decide, so you go to your friends for advice. One of them says that you should get a dog, because they're very loyal. Another says you should get a dog, because they will keep you active. Another one says you should not get a dog, because they're a lot to maintain. Now you have different "combinations". Two responses have the same answers but a different reason. This method helps you list the pros and cons for both choices so that you can make the best decision. Seeking multiple opinions is helpful when making a decision, because it gives you more options.
