I mean, I know this is going off into an ethical/philosophical direction, but if a psychic is able to give a grieving mother some peace of mind, is it really such a bad thing? I mean, it's still bullshit and no, they aren't actually talking to the dead, but if this helps someone cope, what's wrong with it?
That someone profits from selling a service they can't provide and keeps a culture based on ignorance alive.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
