I read something that made me say “Wow.”, out loud, shake my head, and laugh. Then, I paused. There was no lie to be found.
My Dad used to say, “Take the word, and let the goat go”.
Although an individual may have a lot of nerve even thinking about uttering a thing; If they have absolutely NO business adding or imposing their two cents; If they have ZERO credibility when it comes to criticizing, advising, correcting, teaching, scolding, attempting to lead, or preaching to others (considering their own actions, conditions, biases, faults, associations, practices, track records, circumstances, ignorance, or past beliefs); In spite of all of that, if what they’re saying actually has merit; if it’s right or TRUE; if they, in a rare moment of wisdom and clarity, and said something that makes irrefutable sense, it might be a shock coming from them, and you, too, might shake your head at the sheer hypocrisy, but don’t dismiss it.
Take the word.
Good advice is good no matter where it originates.
