However, some people need to learn to clear their mind. If they feel the need to chase something so that they have a better understanding... I say let them. I chased conspiracy theories for a few years. I was helped to see that all I am looking at is a form of negativity. It wasn't until after I stopped viewing these things that my mind cleared the fog away. I first needed the fog then came the healing. I also understand why others think they need an answer. Think of it this way. A person surrounded by friends always have some thing to talk about. They are being distracted from other things such as conspiracy theories. The lonely people who have no distraction begin to form an idea in their mind that they need something to chase.
Most of their time is spend "online" and "researching" all the doom and gloom of a reality they see through a monitor.
In my own wisdom,
If a person have the free time to "research," and "show/tell," about all of the "baddies" in the world, then they should go outside, get off the computer, and participate in community services.
I see other forms of this chasing all the time when it comes to boyfriend/ girlfriend relationships. I often wonder if it is the idea of love that we are chasing and not the relationship. Sure people get experiences from relationships but you have to wonder if there is a deeper reason for this kind of chase. I read somewhere that a woman is represented as giving and nurturing. What if the female is the metaphor and the male just wants a better understanding of giving and nurturing. The masculine energy could be seen as a form of assertiveness. Maybe this is what the female is actually chasing after.
