text: Secondly, if you asked someone for advice, you can take what that person said and ask if other people say if it's good advice or not. People do this to test if they can trust another person or not. They tell what they said to a trustworthy companion and say if it's good enough opinion that should be taken, or poor advice that shouldn't be taken. If it's good they're trustworthy, and if it isn't they're not trustworthy. Being trustworthy is essential for asking for advice since you can take it knowing they're not lying.
