Psychic Readings: Are they Legit?
So the other day in class a girl was talking about this outdoor carnival thing that our university puts on every year that she is involved in. She stood up in front of our class to give it a little plug and told us about the high lights of the day. One of the things was a woman that does a free psychic reading for everyone.
Some people groaned, but a lot of people thought this idea was pretty cool. Personally, I have always thought it was more of a fun thing to get a psychic reading but it wasn't serious. Some of the people in this class took it extremely serious when the girl was telling us what the psychic had told her.
I guess it is a really good way to get people to come to the carnival and learn about our school and it is a way to get people into the door. I think the carnival has all types of things and a lot of information about different groups that our school has and clubs and so this is an amazing way to draw people's attention and get them there and also entertain them while they are collecting some info and finding out all of the things that they can become involved in. I wonder though how many people actually do get one of those readings and take it seriously or live their lives by what the psychic says.
I have also always wondered what sort of liability issues those psychics have. If you tell someone a bad thing about their life and then they go and try to hurt themselves or someone else, can they sue you? I don't even know. But it seems like a lot of weight for one person to have to bear. I think I would have a hard time giving people direction about their lives or telling them bad or maybe even good news. You never know how someone is going to react to what you tell them.
So even though I am a little skeptical about this psychic, I feel like I will probably go one day this week to the carnival and give it a try, even if it's only for fun and games. The money for it is donated to a charity, so it is all for a good cause.
