So, I have an aunt who is a very successful career woman, frequently raises money for charity by walking up various mountains etc.
But she claims to heal people through reiki.
Apparently, she can also do this remotely, dunno if the success depends on your broadband speed or what.
Whilst getting the whole placebo effect and the more things on heaven and earth etc. I just think wtf? It just doesn't 'fit' with everything else about her.
She was very upset, when the local hospice didn't take her up on her offer to volunteer her services.
My step sister, very down to earth no nonsense person started going to a spiritualist church and now says she can also talk to the dearly departed...and I think 'you can't possibly be that gullible, so you are lying to my face' again, something that doesn't 'fit' with how I used to see her.
Bumped into a schoolfriend I hadn't seen for about 25 years and we arranged to meet up for a pub lunch.
Ordered our food and I ask what she's drinking and she says 'I'll have a double brandy' firstly, I thought 'who the hell has a double brandy with lunch?' I mean, unless you've just witnessed a traumatic event, who does that?
Secondly, I just thought it was rude of her, lol! probably absurd of me, I know but it put me in mind of when you're going 50/50 for a meal with someone and you're eating a salad because they would only eat from the al acarte menu.
I'm probably just a judgmental, cynical old mare!
So, has anyone's views on someone done a 360 over something trivial?
