April 15-21:

In what situations is it wise for a friend to give advice and when should they just listen?  A true friend is there to help you and has your best interest in mind, their advice and opinion are, in my life, always acceptable and encouraged.  A friend should want what is best for you and if they don't I don't suppose they fit the qualities and characteristics of the definition, therefore making them intelligible to be called such.
Now, I have often be advised in subjects that I feel either inadequate or guilty, I of course would take offence to that friends opinion.  Keeping in mind that they more than likely are right and do want to help, I find myself angry and offended.  This of course is caused by pride and will fade because the realization that my  friend is truly concerned enough to say something.  It is a blessing to have someone care for me in that way and they are welcome to advice me after listening to a problem I have presented to them or otherwise heard.
