text: Having a lot of people give you reasons on why or why not to do something can lead you to make the decision by yourself. Listening to other people but your gut is telling you something else then you can use other peoples reasoning and yours to make a decision that is the best for you. If you asked three people about buying a car and they all give you reasons not to do it and you have reasons that make theirs less important, then maybe it can lead you to buying a car because you know that you would be better off.
