my thoughts on the idea of letting things go... its right up there with people telling people to just get over it about their mental illnesses, physical health and other problems in their lives. in my thoughts its also in the idea that if people just let things go then there probably would not be a psych central or even mental health agencies. people like to know whats what and why things work or dont work and whether crystals work for them and why.
in this situation the crystal didnt work for me and I set out to find out why it didnt work for me.

I can see I offended you, AL, and I am very sorry for that. I didn't realize that you took the crystal thing as seriously as you did. Where I am from most people either 'believe' or 'don't believe' in the healing powers of crystals, and I have not known anyone who has actually taken the sellers to task for making the claims that they do before. It would not ever have occurred to me to do such a thing, because in my culture I don't think anyone would do anything like that. I *love* that you actually did what you did! (Because really, why should crystal sellers be exempt from making fraudulent claims?) As I said it would just never occur to me to go and investigate that for myself.
But I truly am sorry. In my culture we tend to either believe or not believe in such things, but don't question another person's belief about it. So that was where I was coming from, and I have learned to be a little more respectful of others today. I can't expect others to think, believe or act the same as me in any given situation.
