Kids, whatever your parents tell you, don't believe them all the time. There is more fun to be had in exploring the world for yourself.
What is fantastical to a child, for they have not lost their way in the world, is merely pleasant to an adult.
Fairies like pollen on air are invisible to the eye but the mind's eye sees them flutter.

People are funny in what they believe, but no harm intended, no harm done.

To who?
The person doing the harm just says "I didn't mean it" and they are absolved? By themselves or others?
Geez, how much harm is done with good intentions?
Every genocide in history was probably done with good intentions.
the fairy people i know are pretty decent.
dont like the oil pipelines going through because the dryads dont have anywhere to live anymnore.
the water spirit people are less coherent.
Those who believe in fairies are the innocent.
Those who see fairies are the mad.

The advice of a parent is a spiritual thing, because parents are an authority. God is an authority and harmful situations occur when we do not listen to an experienced and sound advice.

And crusades, witch hunts, inquisitions and human sacrifice, not to mention literally fucking children, if you pardon the crass language, apparently do when you do.
