We make poor choices and frequently wreck our lives, due to our subjective inability to observe how others around us--particular experienced, older people in identical circumstances--have failed, and their hard-earned advice could help us avoid similar pitfalls.
We cannot gain wisdom and moral clarity if we remain arrogant, closed to receiving sage advice, and refuse to learn from the mistakes of others. Valuable lessons are too often bought to dear because we have to waste our lives, to discover twenty years from now, what we should not have done.
As impartial, receptive, intellectual, God-oriented, loving and truth-loving maverizers, we would be humble enough to realize that we need to listen to what others before us have learned. At the minimum, we could avoid needless suffering. At the maximum, we could gain a great jump-start on our great-souled development and career.
