Re: when was the last time you missed the point of something...

[dreemyweird]

I was reading a book where ordinary people kept doing magic/seeing miracles/being transferred to other worlds, and the only thing I could think of throughout the whole narrative was how much I'd like to break a brick against the author's head so that she'd understand that the actual reality never conforms to people's desires and dreams.

Like, there was this one girl in the story who had a friend who apparently had cancer; the friend once gave the girl a pepper in a pot; and at some point the pepper started wilting. Simultaneously, the guy was hospitalized. The girl went "loL I know that sympathetic magic is rubbish bUT I'LL TRY", and she tried, and iT WORKED. I was SO ANGRY at the author. ...Talk about missing the point.

Eeeughhh, kinda sounds like Paul Cuelho's book The Alchemist. I hated it; it was full of that smarmy "Believe in yourself & the universe will conspire to grant your wishes!" crap.

Which is why I hate Paulo Coelho [AFAIR, you got the guy's name all wrong]. Plus, he can't write for shit.

It is sad that I kind of like the writer in question. She's fine when she writes about her fantasy worlds. But this message makes me nope out of a story faster than anything else.

Yeahhhh, that kind of message is one thing that just makes me go "NOPE".

Just because it's so... condescending. Like wow maybe I should believe harder and all my problems will go away! Ha.

New Ager's answer to how to be a witless fundie without the Bible-thumping, tbh. Both are equally abhorrent.
