"But, my child, be warned: There is no end of opinions ready to be expressed. Studying them can go on forever and become very exhausting!" (Ecc 12:12)
As a single, post-college guy, the place I have seen this most is advice people have given me on relationships. I'm not here talking of advice relating to all relationships, but to girls, candlelit nights, and romance. Mushy stuff.
Anyways, one thing I have noticed, through it all, is that all the advice simplifies to this:
Love yourself.
Love the other person.
Love everyone else.
Love God.
"Jesus replied, 'The most important commandment is this: "Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength." The second is equally important: "Love your neighbor as yourself." No other commandment is greater than these.'" (Mark 12:29-31)
Let your life reflect this, and you'll do just fine. Each recipient of love is emphasized to a greater or lesser extent by your teacher. The variation in advice is only how.
