No, I couldn't. It may be the harder advice to give, the one that is morally right. though, that's a tough one....what is right morally for me may not be right for another. Usually, when asked for advice I try not to give it...I'd rather ask leading questions that help a person to make their own choices...but if pushed into a corner, I'll always give the same advice I'd give myself.
It's not a popular stance, but it lets me sleep at night.

I would present the advice as an option, but tell the person getting it that I think its morally wrong and that the might think twice before following it. The person getting the advice has the right to make his own moral decision.

depends on the advice...like I wouldn't tell someone to kill another person just to make their life simpler....though people have offered to off my ex just to make life simpler for me and my baby. LOL
morality is in the eye of the beholder...what I don't consider morally wrong, someone else might.......my philisophy is if it won't get you put in jail then it's up to you to decide

All advice is an attempt at control and gratification by the advice giver.
If the advice IS NOT taken and the 'receiver' does not get what they want, the 'giver' finds gratification in 'i told you so'.
If the advice is taken and the 'receiver' does get what they want, the 'giver' finds gratification in 'i helped you, therefore you owe me'.
If the advice IS NOT taken and the 'receiver' does get what they want, the 'giver' is disappointed but conceals it with 'I'm just glad your happy'.
If the advice IS taken and the 'receiver' does not get what they want, the 'giver' finds gratification in 'that's not what I meant, what I meant was..'. and the cycle continues.
What living thing can tell another living thing how to live?
Instruction on 'how to do' a mechanical function is far more useful than one person trying to control another.

It wouldn't be helpful if it were morally wrong. That is not 'like' but 'is' saying that you know better than God what is truly good or evil. But this is obvious so you must mean something else.

No. I wouldn't. Most of the time when something is morally right, but harder, it comes out easier in the long run anyhow.

If I believe that it is morally wrong for me, and I wouldn't do it myself, I wouldn't give it to someone.

If its wrong, its wrong, and making life less work or more fun does not change that.
Fun is not the purpose of life.

just try to be a good human being & try to share all happiness as u can to needy people, learn to respect nature..., never try to be what you are not actually..., just try to live peaceful life... & remember one thing, that nothing is more important than our freedom & peace of mind...
