text: If you hear multiple pieces of advice, you can learn new things, such as I did. As mentioned earlier, not everyone has gone through the same things. If someone has been through something that you haven't, it can prepare you for the future and teach you a lesson. Also, people have different biases. If you only hear one side of an argument and not the other, you can't know for sure which side you stand for. Since you don't know anything about the other standpoint, you can't make an accurate conclusion.
