Well advised
Well advised = ?
Leave your pity = ?
Context:
You were well advised to leave your pity at the door of Christopher Reeve's airy, sun-filled home, hidden amid the rolling meadows and white wooden barns of upstate New York. What struck you first, as he was steered into the room, was his commanding height: his throne-like wheelchair lifted his broad-shouldered bulk off the ground; sitting down, you found yourself tilting your head upwards to look at him.

Christopher Reeve evidently did not like pity to be shown him, or he presented an aspect which did not elicit pity. 'Well-advised'-- should 'Leave your (pity) at the door' -- discard your (pity) when you enter (or leave it, like a hat, at the entrance). This phrase can be used with other properties as well, Jobb.
