"Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties"

- Aesop

About this Quote

This quote by Aesop is a cautioning to be cautious of advice given by someone who remains in a tight spot. It suggests that when somebody remains in a difficult situation, they might be most likely to give advice that is not in their benefit, or that is not in the best interest of the individual they are giving advice to. This might be since they are desperate to find a solution to their own issue, and might not be believing clearly. It might also be due to the fact that they are biased and might not have the ability to see the larger photo. For that reason, it is essential to be cautious when listening from someone who is in a difficult situation, and to consider the source of the advice before making any decisions.
