text: The experiences and perspectives of other people help you to remain impartial and sensible when it comes to decision-making. In times of stress, people have a tendency to get wrapped up and consumed in their own heads. If you have someone to calm you down, you are far more likely to not make a rash, emotional decision. Furthermore, people are often biased of their own point of view. If you do not go to multiple sources, you may end up making a choice that is unfair to others, or unfair to yourself. Lastly, seeking other people's opinions gives you opportunity to effectively weigh the pros and cons of your options. Each person has something of their own to offer, and it is crucial that you hear the voices of others when making an honest choice. All in all, listening to multiple opinions on a matter allow a person to stay logical and fair when faced with a difficult choice.
