Well firstly I don't recall you asking if I had a problem with your opinion.
And you're right, it's hard to judge someone's tone in type, and I have stated on more than one occasion that I have a difficult time expressing my thoughts in words. So perhaps this perceived arrogance people are picking up is my frustration in trying to express what I'm saying. And I do get very frustrated and worry a lot that what I say is going to make sense, or whether it's going to misinterpreted, which it often is.
But I certainly don't think I'm always right, or at least I don think that my opinion is always the only right one.
And I also understand that there are ignorant and naive people in the world. I believe I already stated in my original post that I know there are things that are not in the classification of having more than one right answer (I'm on my phone atm or I'd quote myself). But there are a lot of people here who are judged for their opinions.
For instance, in chat I was told that I was ignorant and obviously knew nothing about science simply because I stated the fact that I enjoyed The Field and found what she said to be an intriguing possibility. I never claimed she proved it in my eyes or anything like that. And yet I was called ignorant just for enjoying the possibility.
And for the record, I know that what can heal can also harm. I also have a theory as to why it's taught that way in the western world, but I won't say that here. Not interested in having a reiki debate atm.
