I have learned in my life that the more I just tell people the answer the fewer opportunities they have for learning. Much of my knowledge comes from personal exploration and knowing when I need to ask for help and I’ve decided that I need to allow others to do that, too, and if I don’t I’m just taking that from them.
In this case they’d probably get a “you sure about that?” and that’d be the end of it. They’re only going to hurt themselves, it’s not like they’ll get anywhere far, so this is a great chance for some learning.
I get that. And for the most part, I’m right there with you. But I also believe that there are some things that don’t need to be learned the hard way. And personally, I’m kinda sick of learning everything the hard way. Sometimes people just need a bone.
Sometimes yea! Tying a hold-down strap to your wheel is a lesson they clearly need to learn the hard way, though, I mean goddamn. Look, I’m still a largely helpful person and boy am I a yapper, which helps, but some people need more than a bone. I can’t speak for this guy but some people have also been told before several times and clearly need a stronger lesson(my roommate moving in with their partner in August, for example, who’s a fuckin’ mess in several ways(but we are still friends)).
