Context is King

"Context is King". I'm not sure if I've actually ever heard it said [1] or if it's a natural statement because it sounds catchy (read: kitschy, pithy). I think there's truth in that bitesized statement. It's important to keep in mind the context when considering advice. Most (all?) advice in life is contextual.[2] There's never a one size fits all piece of advice because there's no way to conceive of every possible scenario and boil that down to a single, catchy statement...except maybe "Context is King".
