Yes, but surely advice from a person too different from yourself will result in them trying to make you more like them and you might not even have the capability or inclination to be so anyway
If the person doesn't have your best interests at heart, they can give you some really f-ed up advice too ie they can have a hidden agenda and are trying to boost their ego at your expense
this is where the spirit of the self enters the picture.
surely by the time you are in your forties you have some perspective. you know what you are to some degree.
ammendment:
i am not here to change you.
but i would feel as if i have done my part if i was able to challenge you a bit. to look at yourself more and make informed decisions about your own life.
good or bad, it's up to you to decide that for yourself.
remember, i am interested in challenging you.
and my heart is in the right place, tho sometimes my communication skills are lacking.
