I'm personally comfortable accepting that people have experiences that aren't explained by mainstream science, and I know at least one person who says they can see auras, a person who is very dear to me. But I also know it's best not to sneer at people who aren't familiar with those experiences, as it serves only to anger and alienate people.

This breaks these guidelines:

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

I know it can be upsetting to face hostility when sharing experiences and concepts that are deeply meaningful to you, but let's try and avoid taunting people like this. When it's predictable that a comment will attract downvotes, it's an indication that there might be a better way to express things.
