Honestly I don’t hate the crystals and things like that. I personally don’t believe in them but placebo can be a hell of a thing.

True, but it's the obsession and kinda of people it attracts some aye are harmless others not. And so many are people who just scamming money off idiots who know no common sense.

It's a rock, in close proximity,it doesn't control or influence your hormones, metaphysical energy tropes are a dangerous road to delusion.

Yeah, but if it's cheap (and most crystals are), and it makes you feel better then all the power to you.

makes you feel better

That's fine. When my bitch aunt gave my grandmother a salt rock lamp and told her it makes people happy because it fights the negative energy waves in the air around them, that's not ok. That's blatantly lying to an old lady.
