The question of using it for the wrong reasons, depends on what you think "wrong" is. not using it morally (like cheating) shouldnt be that bad, but using it to harm others should be crossing the line, whether it be physically or emotionally. I would not want to see a world where everyone knows psionics, because you know there will be bad people using it for bad to harm others severly. as for the fluffy of "using psionics for bad will take your powers over" never believe that. you have muscles in your arm to move it, if you were intending to punch someone out with it, does that mean that you wont be able to use your arm because your planning to use it in the wrong? no. personally, i train with psionics to learn more about life, myself, and my limits, how far i can go. if i can help people with my abilities (in the very distant future...damn you pen roll!) then i will. i would love to have strong pk like in xmen3 so i can help people, make the world a better place to live in, a more happy place. but i geuss i can dream...

Me: One of my Psi goals:: learning to attack people with psi balls at any given time. This is a ridiculous goal to have. Not only ridiculous, but blatantly against the Psipog rules of "No Combat". Not to mention it calls into question the level of maturity and respect that you have for your fellow human beings that you hold. Quote: Me: is it okay to use PK in public? Her: er, no. Me: then quite honestlyl what's the point? To entertain yourself? Her: to better yourself. Her: you can practice with your friends who know about it Her: but not in the general public. thats when people start calling you a freak and tell you to move things. Mostly your friend is right, except the "er, no" part, and the end sentence. The rest of the logic that I don't like is based on "fear". It is insignificant if you are labeled a "freak". From my own experience people tend to "forget" about Psi stuff after a few weeks/months. Quote: Her: heh. see, thats what we call 'learning for the wrong reason' She is correct. If you can't think of any other reason to learn psi than the specific goal you outlined, then you are better of not learning Psi. Quote: Me: then maybe i can be a "dark-psion" Me: Listen. He does a whole bunch of crap to me. Either I'll punch his lights out one day, or my psi ball will. And frankly, the latter won't get me in trouble The whole "dark Psion" thing is stupid aswell. You won't be a dark Psion, you'll just be a bad person. If someone is messing with you, you can usually stop them by confronting them about it. And the latter CAN get you in trouble, depending on who you tell.

If you try to be righteous then there is no problem being public. If you try to be greedy and powerful then even private is a problem. If you try to use power to get dates and make money, you have a problem. If you try to use power to reach HaSheM and spread love and happiness then you are doing good

Having an urge to learn a skill for several years just to harm persons really makes a very loud point on where you should be putting your energy instead.

Protection is fine, but revenge is unacceptable in MY OPINION. 2. Use them to improve my daily life. Nothing too major, really. Maybe freak people out. 3. To harness a new and useful skill. 4. Right reasons: Because you want to learn Wrong reasons: Aren't really any, other than world domination. 5. Yes. I plan on doing so when I become more adept. I'll mass-ping everyone in my English class, MWAHAHAHAHA!
