Reading extraordinary claims without losing empathy
People often share unusual experiences because the event affected their identity, relationships, or fear of death. A purely argumentative response can miss that human purpose. Empathy means hearing the account accurately; it does not require accepting every proposed cause.
One useful practice is to summarize the experience in neutral language before evaluating it. Separate what was seen or remembered from what the narrator believes it means, then identify which parts could be checked against independent records.
