text: One reason for seeking multiple opinions is so that people will have a variety of knowledge to choose from. This will help better prepare them when they have to choose between their options. Furthermore, it will help them face the consequences of their action. They will also know that they chose the better option based upon the opinions that they were given. Getting multiple opinions will also help them when they learn from other people's mistakes. Like, if they had to choose from going to a movie or going to study for a test. If they went to somebody who doesn't really care about the test, they will most likely choose to go to the movie. But if they ask their elder brother or sister, they would say, based on experience, don't go the movies because if you fail your test, mom and dad would ground you for a month. Then based on the opinions given to them they would choose the best choice. In addition to that, no one knows everything about the whole world. So why would someone go to one person. Maybe they don't even know anything about it and give bad advice. If they only went with one opinion and that was their first opinion and they acted on it, they would have probably chosen the worst choice and would have to face the consequences of that choice.
