Common Bad Advices

While in many situations, the following could be valid advice, however, in many others, they are merely excuses in disguise.

This is the problem — this is how most people do their thinking.

Common bad advice (often disguised by excuses) that are embraced as social gospels and have turned religiously dogmatic, especially when people are part of the `pandering spell` of the `fake-feel-good`:

“Listen To Your Feelings” (a.k.a. “Follow Your Heart” or “Follow Your Dream” or “Follow Your Passion”)

We can tell the same to the religious fanatics, to the extent that it may be the same driving force of turning simple people to be obdurate terrorists. Similar for the drug addicts and people rapping all their lives away on trivial existence and wastrel nothings.

People usually agree most instinctively to what they like, not what is right. It is vital to be aware that many a times we use this warm social gospel to justify our bias. We ingenuously, and yet ingeniously disguise it as the `magical gut feeling` and consecrate it as an infallible and divine oracle to lead our moral compass.

Do not let your reflexes replace your reflections. While the reptilian instinct evokes a piquant reminisce, however forlorn and hurting the throes of abandonment, it must be checked by rigorous ratiocination of the mammalian cortex.
