Summary

This quote implies that when we seek advice, we often want someone to validate and support our own ideas or actions, rather than provide objective and unbiased guidance. We tend to value finding someone who will agree with us, strengthening our resolve and confirming that we are making the right choices. In this context, seeking advice becomes a means of seeking affirmation and a partner in our decisions, rather than truly desiring someone to challenge our thinking or offer alternative perspectives.

No way in hell was I going to be the one to take that quality away from her.
