I was once given an advice which now actually seems like negative advice. It's no wonder I had a negative reaction to it.

"Everyone has baggage". Why? It's a broad statement, and it doesn't help the person in trouble. It's a way to tell the person to "stop whining". And the statement also obliterates the fact that baggage comes in numbers, sizes, weights and carriers.

It's pathetic I only now notice how bad this advice is.
I'm open to hear otherwise about it.

But besides that, what about you?
