A THOUGHT ABOUT THE PARANORMAL COMMUNITY
Today, within the paranormal field, there seems to be a lot of drama. Hate, negativity, and backstabbing have become far too common.
Thankfully, many people are choosing to stand apart from it and continue focusing on what really matters — research, investigations, learning, and moving the field forward.
My suggestion is simple:
Stay away from the drama and keep doing what we do.
Will it eventually blow over? I'm not sure, but I certainly hope so. Separate yourself from the negativity, concentrate on your own work, and keep moving forward.
I've spoken with others who are doing exactly that. There are also groups and individuals who continue to push for cooperation and unity within the paranormal community. That's encouraging to see.
In many ways, this field is still relatively young, and with growth will come growing pains. We aren't always going to agree — and that's okay.
Different ideas, theories, methods, and approaches can help us learn from one another.
What matters is how we treat each other while doing the work.
Stay focused.
Keep researching.
Keep investigating.
Keep learning.
THE RESEARCH NEVER ENDS.
