text: First of all, the fact that no two people will provide the same opinion is inevitable given the fact that everyone comes from a different background and is taught to handle things differently than someone else. If one asked someone's advice and did not take the time to seek a variety of different opinions, they could not be certain that the advice they are being provided is right for their particular situation or that it is relevant. For example, if one broke their mother's favorite lamp and asked their best friend what they should tell their mother, that person is making the mistake of relying on only one person to give them advice in a matter that could need more than one opinion, like their sibling's or their father's. Based on that example, someone could be given bad advice by one person therefore risking making a wrong decision, but with more than one opinion, that person can increase their chances of making the decision that is right for them. Of course, there is also the matter of simplicity and liking. In these cases, asking advice from one person is not likely to provide us with the simple answer we're looking for. Furthermore, anyone seeking advice has a higher chance of being satisfied with their options and their outcome if they ask for more than one person's guidance.
