What Is the Greatest Benefit of Learning to Read Facial Expressions?
Many people often ask me about the biggest advantage of learning to read facial features. In my opinion, it's the ability to not envy others. Jian Shaonian, a national figure in the new tech circle and an expert in fortune-telling and feng shui, discusses in his book "Jian Shaonian's Modern Life Transformation Book" (published by Times Publishing) that when we observe others, we can see both their strengths and weaknesses.
Small and Irregular Ears Signify Possible Hardships in Childhood
Here's a simple way to assess: if someone has relatively small or irregularly shaped ears, it's likely they had a challenging childhood, approximately between the ages of one and fifteen. They may have faced various difficulties during that time. Their parents might have been too occupied to care for them, resulting in a life of hard work, caution, and deep-seated feelings of loneliness and anxiety. Although they may seem successful and receive many external accolades now, these achievements result from the struggles they endured in their youth.
A Strong Nose Heralds a Breakthrough at Forty; Interests Are a Cumulative Process
Some people live comfortably each day yet achieve little, partly due to laziness. Within this group, some enjoy painting, while others like writing. These activities might seem unproductive financially or otherwise, but if you observe their faces, you’ll notice they have a strong nose. Individuals with prominent noses often experience a significant breakthrough around forty. At that point, it becomes apparent that their seemingly pointless activities were actually part of a cumulative process. By the time they reach forty, their situation improves remarkably.
Understanding Facial Features Discourages Envy of Successful People, as Each Endured Unique Hardships
Consequently, people currently facing challenges might simply be in the process of paving the way for a better future. Following this reasoning, when you observe some successful individuals in their forties, you'll notice features like thick, dark eyebrows, large eyes, and a narrow forehead. Such facial structures suggest they faced considerable difficulties before turning forty. By learning to read facial features, you won’t envy them because their past struggles become evident. You’ll realize there’s no perfect life; people's life journeys are at different stages and points in time.
We Shouldn't Overemphasize Our Flaws; In the Realm of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Good and Bad Balance Out
A popular poem in America states: "Everyone has their own time zone; you are neither too fast nor too slow. There's no need to compare your time zone with others. Trust that life has a beautiful timing for everything; life is timely in your own zone." Embracing your current self is key to a truly fulfilling life. Many religions explore how to find joy, essentially a form of universal logic. Good and bad are relative—perfection is a state where nothing remains to be compared. When everything is satisfactory, you naturally feel great, approaching what might be called "perfection."
No One is Perfect; Embracing Your Present Self Leads to a Beautiful Life
Therefore, embarking on this journey allows life to achieve lasting happiness. In Buddhism, this is often called the "Western Paradise," symbolizing a unified understanding. From a Taoist perspective, it's about returning to the level of the Tao, realizing that there's always one state, that of "joy," leading to true perfection. I hope everyone comprehends this process of unified perfection, practices it regularly, and understands that no one is flawless. By considering the world from a different perspective, life can improve significantly.
