Ah; this discussion made me think about past interactions, both embarrassing as well as those that were endearing, with a newfound sense of appreciation. I'm reminded of a speaker who shared similar ideas around "advice = vice" and remembered the phrase in "don't deny people the chance to follow their own destiny" as their own mantra when it comes to the flow of communicating ideas with one person to another. Something to the effect of "advice is trying to make someone else walk your steps and you don't know where that will go for them". Art, too, is communication. It's worth keeping in mind as one goes along. Thank you for this opportunity to reflect on this lol
