In any situation, or with any advice you need, people always say 'go with your gut instinct', 'your gut instinct is always right'.
What do you think about this? Is it true? Is it worthy advice to go with your gut instinct or just superstition?

there has been many a time where my gut instinct has been to do one thing, but when i though about it, my head said something different....
and in hindsight, my gut instinct was wrong, usually waayyyyy wrong haha
what is your gut instinct?? just a feeling?
In more complex situations with more than one variable to consider I would recommend sit back and think it through.
But in most cases, you ought to think about it first.
don't trust the heart and the head, they know nothing!
I don't think the OP is talking about the workings of your bowel movements, CoolMe.
I agree.
Gut instinct is just a very immediate form of reasoning. In that flash of a second, your brain is computing ideas like 'run', 'fight', 'what have I learnt about this experience before', 'what are the consequences' etc etc. It has nothing to do with some 'spiritual enlightenment'.
