As I have mentioned in many posts, I'm upset with people who tell me what I should do. Perhaps the reason it bothers me is because I always feel I should give them the benefit of the doubt, should consider their view. I don't believe in dismissing people's views. If I could dismiss their views, maybe I would not be so mad at them, and would not feel like they were holding me back. What I mean by holding me back is that I take time away from the path that I know is right in order to give consideration to what other people say.
On the other hand, it wouldn't be right to forge ahead on my own beliefs alone, and shut out any input from others. The beliefs of any one person are limited. When we let in the views of others, we can expand our understanding, and be a little less wrong.
It's a fine line, knowing when to let in the views of others, and when to proceed with what you believe to be right. As in my previous post, it's the kind of thing that you can spend your whole life trying to get right.
