text: everyone has different ideas on how to handle an issue so the person that needs advice can have more options, and so they can also think about the issue more carefully. By doing this you are also assuring yourself that your issue may not be that big of a deal, and also if you don't know how to confront the issue you can think about the advice that was given to you and you can compare and contrast the different ideas so you can have a better choice that is thought of.
