Giving Advice

How do we respond when someone holds a belief that is contrary to our own or simply is wrong? First, it depends upon the person. If we are talking about a complete stranger who has posted a thought on a social media account, there is no need to respond unless they are specifically asking us for input or direction. If this person is someone under our authority, we should direct them towards the truth. If this is someone who is an equal and with whom we are in a relationship, it can be brought up as a discussion point if they are interested in dialog. If they are not, we need to let it go. If this is a spouse and the point needs to be resolved, it can only be resolved if both people are interested in resolving it. In short, unrequested advice is nothing but imposition.
