Reason

I think that when people give advice and give reason to what they want to tell you,they actually want them to follow that reason. I believe that when someone gives an opinion that they want to recognize their statement. If that was not so, no one would give reasons for anything. No one would learn from others. So actually, I think Decartes is lying when he says that he doesn't want people to listen to his reasons because if that was true; he would never give a reason in the first place.
