Another person takes the advice of those who are close to him without examining or discussing this advice… Or he might follow the steps of others, once more without examining them…

The reasonable and wise person is the one who chooses the wise advice, without depending on one opinion.

God gave man two ears: to hear the first opinion with one, and to listen to the opposite opinion with the other. The mind is in between, to weigh each opinion and choose the best…

—H.H. Pope Shenouda III, Words of Spiritual Benefit Vol. 1
