Oh well ... got quite a lot of response from my friends on that one .. most saying how many of your "interested" readers bothered with Emma's book on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc time of you mentioning it or took any notice of anything else you wrote on the subject or about Emma.
Well, I had mentioned that you can't really prove anything but Emma's book is the nearest to getting you there plus researching yourself with that as a foundation .. the book's sort of about coincidences too.
And it can be discussed so that people know about it.
Someone said did I think it had made people happier .. said it should have done for people who read word for word what I'd written and used that as a guide line rather than spiralling off into worlds of their own and trying to alter and twist meaning to suit themselves. They'll probably be quite happy, though like me, know there's a way to go yet.
Some will choose not to investigate because they'd prefer it not to be true at this stage in their lives.
Others will not want to believe because it doesn't fit in with their beliefs and they belong to mindsets where only their way of seeing the whole picture is right and everyone who doesn't agree with them is wrong.
Others will let their prejudices get in the way of even considering it.
Etc., etc., etc.
Like the star on the duvet guy and I guess people who find it difficult to see a dividing line between fact and fiction because of mind altering substances. I mean most things are going to be altered by a few pints of cider etc.
Etc., etc., etc.
And some people won't consider it because to them anything like that doesn't fit in with their way of thinking because they feel that it isn't in a scientific mode even though there might be other things they will accept saying that it's a theory that just needs proving.
Others get so into proving that anything along these lines isn't true that they just kinda filter out anything that suggests it could be.
Etc., etc., etc.
So the number of uninterested people would be quite high.
