in other areas of your life you wouldn't let someone tell you something way out there and accept "proof, who cares?" as a response.......unless you were a literal fool. |
That's funny, because I think that an attitude of requiring proof from someone who tells me something that's way out there is ridiculous! No offense meant or negative emotions on this side, either.
If a man tells me that each of the cells in his body is run by its own individual elf, and all the cell elves get together every Groundhog Day to optimize operations, do you think I should require proof from him that it's true? Do you think I should try to prove him wrong? I don't see how that would add anything to either his life or mine -- proof, who cares?
Likewise with a woman tells me that she's had some exciting experiences with out of body experiences, or speaking with dead relatives, or experiencing a waking-like consciousness inside of a dream. What good would proof do me? Proof -- who cares?
My having that attitude makes you believe that I'm a literal fool (as opposed to a figurative fool?
) and that's fine with me. Why would I want to prove otherwise? Who cares?
