Facial Features: How to Tell Good People from Bad

One day, a friend's daughter showed me a photo of a boy she likes. From the picture, he seems well connected socially, but his personality appears gloomy, and he tends to behave in an excessively harsh way. He's just riding a bit of youthful luck. When I asked what she liked about him, she said he was sunny and handsome, like the male lead in a Korean drama.

This is common—judgments are based on superficial feelings and media-shaped images, with little ability to distinguish right from wrong. While young people have room to make mistakes and act foolishly, a wrong choice in the moment can lead to lifelong consequences.

Through physiognomy, there’s a way to check whether your choices are problematic. You can list the people you like and dislike—those you want to be close to and those you prefer to avoid—and then focus on observing and summarizing their key facial features. Physiognomy can provide insights.

First, check whether the cheeks are hollow; second, see if the eye sockets are deep; third, look at whether the ears are well rooted; and fourth, see if the jawline and chin are sharp.

By combining these four simple observations, if the people you’re close to mostly have hollow cheeks, deep-set eyes, and sharp jaws, while those you avoid are generally broad and full-faced, it suggests your preferences and choices may be flawed. If you seek the greatest support from society and your environment, it’s essential to associate with the virtuous and distance yourself from the unscrupulous. From a destiny perspective, this means staying close to those with abundant blessings and keeping away from those with scant blessings. If this principle is reversed, it’s no exaggeration to say that your good fortune will be ruthlessly stripped away.
