I've found that the people who try and persuade everyone of their grandiose healing powers are the most dangerous ones. The ego boost from "helping people" may add a few inches onto their penis, but it's always the unsuspecting believer that ends up paying the price. But I've come to the conclusion that people will believe what they want to believe, no matter how crystal clear the intentions of the healer are. Witnessing the gullibility of depressed middle-aged housewives for self-help gurus (I worked for an particularly self-righteous "motivational speaker/author" for a short period of time) and the persistent bullying from prideful surgeons to keep their patients from seeking 2nd opinions (I was one of those patients), gives me a heart-sickness that can't be cured with even my usual panacea of chocolate ice cream & sprinkles.
Having a slice of that warm buttery-crusted, cinnamon-sprinkled, whipped cream topped, mouth-watering Humble Pie is the only thing worth living for. And sometimes people need a little (or big) push into the great paradigm shift I like to call "the real world". The unfortunate truth is that those self-help gurus, doctors, politicians, celebrities, preachers, etc. will never have a lack of naive followers unwilling to question what they're told.
QUESTION, QUESTION AND QUESTION AGAIN, until there's nothing left to ask.
