text: when you need advice about something, mainly when it is something serious, you will want to hear more than one point of view. One piece of advice I hear a lot is to get a second opinion. Why do you think that is? Well, it is because it is a good piece of advice! As I said before, not one person is all knowing. even if we took all of the knowledge humans have, we would not even come close to knowing everything. with that being said, you are more likely to make a good decision if you ask more than one person. even if those people dont know everything, their combined knowledge still greater than the knowledge ether one of them posses on there own.
