I agree that’s a reasonable explanation of why it happens, I still find it frustrating. Aleppo is a great example. Why would I advise someone not to go? Without knowing who they are, when they’re going and for what purpose, it seems preposterous that any advice would be given at all. Asking a few questions would highlight if they’re making an informed decision and if they possess the information I hold. There are reasonable reasons to be going to Syria (soldier, aid worker, contractor, reporter) and repeating the last headline read is not useful. As for jumping off a cliff, isn’t that cliff diving? If you mean suicide, hopefully you have first hand experience on the value of life, which could be provided as useful advice. My frustration is how quickly people provide their opinions as advice, often oblivious to how informed the receiver is on the given subject.
