bad predictions

kiwikid

how is bad stuff read and passed on to customer at readings - do readers just ignore it or are they required to give the information in a softly softly manner or what?

The main aim of a reading should be to leave the recipient uplifted and supported. I believe a reader should never predict death or serious illness anyway. Why would that stuff be shown to someone?

What kind of bad news did you mean?

Each reading should leave you uplifted - WHY? shouldn't it not give you a gentle indication of things ahead so you can plan ahead? I mean all to often you hear people suggest that "you won't marry the love of your life/ fiance", or you will completely change careers - even though you thought you were in the perfect job or relationship and sure that might not leave you too thrilled.?

I wouldn;t plan my life on the reading of a few cards but still if it is there then why not mention??

Maybe your reader did not see it.
Maybe you werent meant to know, so you didnt face that choice.
Why should a reader leave anyone in a bad mental state, what would that achieve for them? Youd still face the same situation, but with added fear and worry.

??? why would you be in a bad mental state if you went to someone and they told you to be cautious. in my situation there was a simple way of warning.
The maybe you weren't supposed to know - well now how could you argue with that?

dont put your faith in fortune tellers, most just do it as a form of entertainment. if its a medical matter then see a doctor or specialist

Sorry, I'm just butting in a bit here... Everybody looks at these things differently. To you, it would have seemed practical to be informed of a difficult predicament that could have been avoided, which does make sense. At the same time (and I'm not defending readers by saying this), whatever is said in the reading is at the reader's own discretion. Maybe a reader 'sees' a difficult forthcoming situation but doesn't feel it's their place to reveal it to the person, for whatever reason?

Btw, I saw you mentioned the reader Eileen Bullman in another thread on here and how she didn't relate something occurring that has turned your life on its head (presumably - and regrettably - the child being born with the genetic abnormality). Let me say that (and, disappointingly, it's too late for this), based on reports from family and friends and having met her myself, that I don't think she's psychic at all. I just think she thinks she is, whatever the hell it was that instigated that belief within her.

She's a nice woman otherwise and all that, but there's nothing psychic there. I don't know anyone who received predictions from her in the past that have since materialised. Now, most of them only went to her out of curiosity or for the craic of it, but they were open to what she would say simultaneously nevertheless...

I'm sorry to hear about the problem that's cropped up since, and you're clearly and understandably upset about it, but (without hopefully sounding patronising now) I think "everything happens for a reason". That cliched feckin' saying.

My aunt and uncle have a severely mentally disabled son and they have experienced their fair share of tumult down through the years, but they still love my cousin as he is and they wouldn't change him. They adopted him as a baby when they failed to conceive a child after several years of trying (only to be able to conceive later on after all), and they eventually discovered that he was epileptic and autistic, losing whatever limited vocabulary he had acquired completely at the age of five. Many challenging years followed, but they have managed to keep the bright side out whenever possible regardless.

They hadn't ever visited any psychics (let alone even be aware of such people, believe it or not) in their lives, nor have they done so subsequently, so there was never any loose possibility of someone forewarning them of adopting a disabled son.
Even so, they have faced their difficulties to the best of their ability and have learned to accept that their son will never be 'healthy' like most other young men. It has taken the family many years and tears to come to terms with the situation, but that's the norm for most people. It takes time to accept imperfections in life, or whatever you'd prefer to call them. It's never easy.

Although I would think, like yourself, that a competant reader should forewarn a person of an impending problem (apart from deaths - I'm against that), I also believe that it isn't their responsibility to mention future, major life-changing problems. At the same time, I would be suspicious if a reader was telling you nothing but glowing, positive things about your future, unless your current situation obviously seemed to be veering towards that type of outcome to start with. You can't necessarily 'blame' a reader for failing to tell you about a problem in advance (though feel free to do so) but, as I said, Eileen Bullman isn't psychic anyway, so the only thing that she had tuned in was probably her TV arial.

You can argue with it if you want to though... I know I'd be a bit pissed off myself if a reader whom I knew was the real deal hadn't told me about a major problem related to my life in advance. At the same time, I wouldn't dwell on it. It really depends on the person and how they choose to look at it, but I can see how that 'maybe you weren't 'meant' to know' schtick sounds like a bit of a pain in the hole alright.

kiwikid

absolutely not dwelling on it, moreso just a believer turned cynic now! And i agree its a bloody good money spinner for a bit of craic!

There were a few other things that did happen that were not mentioned and looking back things that were predicted they were of a general nature so were likely enough to happen.

I just wonder aloud why if you pay someone to predict the future, and maybe give you a heads up on stuff coming down the line why they can decide not to give you that. or else a rebate on the fee!;)
