Re Lil Life is made up MOSTLY of things we can't control. Or hadn't you noticed?
I noticed and remove myself from several situations where my control is not valid or ineffective.

There are situations where it is not good to withdraw very long and cases where direct confrontation is the only proper thing to do. Doing what and where is the choice a rational person has to make.

Same thing with ghosts, I don't give the concept any power or credibility so don't buy into the idea of ghosts.

If something happens around a house or a location that is not explainable, I don't like the idea of giving a reason for the happening/event to a ghost.

Sometimes cause and effect is difficult to determine. Why say a ghost did something or why something happened was influenced by a ghost. I think real life is stranger and more varied than fiction in many ways and some of life's events are not going to be understood fully.

In our case, BB believes certain things happen around our house because a ghost influenced the event in some ways. I say some one's actions or in-actions caused the event to happen or I place no cause/effect on the event.

If something happened that isn't readily explainable, I would rather hear a few of "likely" provable by replication, options, rather than correlate cause and effect to a ghost like entity. Sometimes no answer for now, is a better choice.

To me a person's spirit lives on in our mind as a product of "our" thoughts, from actual experiences, things we were told, or things we read. That is just my opinion and how I live. The FOO of Lou included ghosts and their associated problems. It was extra baggage I dumped. Life is dramatic/complicated enough. I don't need the extra good or bad drama/uncertainties/potential rewards of ghosts.

To each his/her own. I am not trying to change anyone's opinion.
I don't want to change any-one's perception of ghosts. Mine is they don't exist. They are good story material, symbols that have to do with a common mental process.
