Feng Shui

As this few days is the festive celebration for the Chinese in Malaysia, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong and Vietnamese in Vietnam. This is the celebration called the Lunar New Year whereby the year is determined by the moon as what the ancient people believe last time.

Thus, during this celebration, there are always superstition, do's and don'ts in the Chinese community. In every aspect from dressing, foods, home decorations and etc., Chinese the color of RED brings luck and fortune, that's why we will put firecrackers as to bright up the hope for those benefits. Fish, poultry, and lots other foods are essential to bring you good harvest and more to come in the future. Each and everything brings a certain measure of good things to us.

That is just something old-school, and as time goes by, Chinese become more peculiar and more sensitive towards certain issues that even the birth year, whereby we have ox, pig, dragon, snake, rabbit, horse, monkey, goat, dog, and this year, the year of the Tiger. Even this zodiac become something superstitious which bring in another element of wider and comprehensive knowledge of Feng Shui.

Personally, Feng Shui on wind, sun, water and landscape is quite true as my brother who took Architecture and Civil Engineering as a degree did mentioned. So much so that even those Dummies book have the knowledge for Feng Shui. However, looking on Feng Shui on zodiac and predicting our years is rather vague.

This is not that I want to counter whatever those Feng Shui master said and definitely I'm someone who will listen and take the good of it. However, this year, it bumped into me to listen to up to 3 sources of Feng Shui. I was born in the year of the Dragon and in fact, three different sources tells me different things. One say good, but must be careful, one say bad, and real bad and lastly, rather neutral.

Thus, the reason for this post is this, one Feng Shui master can tell you that you should be careful on your health, eat more vegetables, do not always think opportunity is always good as it may be an loopholes and etc. The problem is this, everything they said is ambiguous. Every good thing they mentioned there is bad thing coming in, and every bad thing they mentioned, it will always comes off good. And since they are talking without paying any money, suing them means no point, as if you say you got a bad accident, they will say, YES I Told you. But if you tell them, don't have also, although a lot would not challenge that, he will say, yes, things are turning better.

So the speculation of this post is like this, whatever statement that they make, we never know whether is an OFFER or INVITATION TO TREAT. We can say yes and say no, thus, it may lead to an acceptance in the knowledge. But however, with all the thing that this contract may be legal, one problem arises, which is, is the contract voidable or not and etc. which I will discuss in the next post.

This is Eric here writing, in care of listening to the right things for yourself.
