text: A well-rounded perspective is key to making good decisions. Seeking multiple opinions tells you what the most popular opinion is. This lets you know what most people did, and how it worked out for them. Multiple stories also means multiple sides of the same subject. You get all the opinions so you can formulate your own. With one person you get one part of the story, but with multiple people you get the whole story. You'll get all the details, and be able to peice the tale together. Having multiple perspectives on something allows you to know how your decision will affect your future.
