I can agree that personal experiences hold a lot of weight to the person who experiences them. And I can agree that sometimes there is so much misconception in the things we experience, that not everything can truly be trusted enough to actually be believable, regardless if we were the ones who actually experienced it or just heard about it from someone else. I suppose sometimes in life, ya just gotta take things with a grain of salt and not get too caught up in the hype over it.

I personally have had many experiences with meeting the spirit being known as Lucifer. Some of it was good, some of it not so great, but not so horrifically bad that I could't shrug it off and just get on with my life. Heck, I was even somewhat reprimanded by another spirit being for not rebuking Lucifer from the start, because this other spirit being thought I could have been hurt. Even though I didn't get hurt and the whole "love quarrel" (as he put it) never should have happened in the first place, cause that kind of caused a rift between him and I, that I have a hard time trying to forget about sometimes.

But I guess my point is, not everyone is going to have the exact same experiences as everyone else. Not everyone is going to have the exact same point of view on the experience, regardless if it was their experience or someone elses. And I suppose the best thing to do in these cases, is to just be open enough to each other's experiences, to talk about them in a positive way, and try our best to not let that talk turn to something negative that could have negative repercussions later on. I understand that so many people actually mean well when they try to tell someone else their experiences could be some kind of low self esteem issue, or a mental health issue, or try to "correct" that person's way of thinking to be more in line with their own. But I really have to wonder, if it isn't just creating an even bigger problem, or causing rifts between people.

I don't know, maybe I'm just rambling on too much, with my thoughts on how sometimes not being able to take someone elses experience, or thoughts at face value, can lead to a depressing state for the one who's believed to be delusional. Guess I've just had too may people trying to spoon feed me their version of what I've experienced, telling me I'm in one kind of state of being a misguided fool, or another. Part of me just longs to have people be more understanding and accepting of others for their personal beliefs. But then again, if no one put in their "two cents", then there could be no growth in seeing things differently then what was once believed. I suppose it all comes down to how much tact one uses to tell someone they may be incorrect, and how much one is going to be offended at being told they may be incorrect.

I think I'll just stop talking now.
