If you have seen "Night at the Museum II" you will know the clip I will try to explain. Larry is needing some advice and information from the exhibits that come to life after dark at the museum he is in. Yeah I know, its a movie so let it rest. Anyway, he is looking for someone wise, someone smart, someone who knows the answers to all the questions. So who does he go to? The statue of "The Thinker". So he asked his question and Larry finds out that the thinker is not that bright, he actually is the stereotypical jock who is more worried about his biceps than binary codes. It was a pretty cute way to see that things are not always exactly what we think that they may be.
Too many times we go to someone who we "think" is smart and ask their advice on life. We go to someone who we "think" knows the answers to our questions and can give us good direction. Sometimes we just seek out those that will tell us what we want to hear, those that "think" the way we want them to so we can justify our decisions.
So next time you are "thinking" that you need some help with a decision in your life, "think" who you are entrusting to help you with that decision, make sure they are more interested in your well being than in their own being well.
