Why We Shouldn't Change Our Faces Just for the Sake of It

This topic has been discussed frequently. The true essence of a person is found in their authentic self, and it is this genuineness that reveals true beauty. The concepts of beauty and ugliness lack clear boundaries; they have evolved over generations, shaped by environments and lifestyles, gradually forming a certain framework. While genetics plays a part, it is the cultivation of one’s character that refines the details within that framework, and it is these details that shape the course of our lives.

Many modern individuals struggle to understand this concept, particularly those who blindly follow Western trends. They feel compelled to alter their appearance in pursuit of perfection, as if failing to do so would leave behind psychological scars.

I have a friend whose daughter is studying in the UK, where the trend of having broken eyebrows is popular. While this can be seen as a form of freedom and creativity, it unfortunately raises significant concerns from a fate perspective. Naturally broken eyebrows might suggest misfortune among siblings. If the broken eyebrow is artificially created, it could imply significant divisions, conflicts, or even enmity among friends.

There are many similar trends. The fashion of sharpening the chin and enhancing the nasal bridge are notable examples. Michael Jackson was a pioneer in manipulating the nasal bridge. In reality, the nasal bridge consists of soft cartilage, its height and structure varying based on human living conditions. People in harsh environments tend to be more adaptable and resourceful, especially those from high-altitude, cold regions, who often find more opportunities and resources in life. Conversely, those from more sheltered environments tend to be conservative, focusing on protecting their domain, leading to a life of comfort and complacency.

Enhancing the nasal bridge may create a more contoured facial appearance. However, a low nasal bridge does not necessarily indicate weak fortune; troubles arise from a broken nasal bridge, signifying difficulties in financial pathways and adaptability. Artificially elevating the nasal bridge might garner admiration and boost confidence, but the accompanying reduced adaptability can lead to increased emotional conflicts. While it may seem that opportunities are increasing, they could negatively affect stable careers, leading to feelings of inadequacy, and when opportunities arise, one might not be able to seize them.

After artificially enhancing his nasal bridge, Michael Jackson's career soared, but he faced misfortune that led him down a troubled path. Different individuals are affected differently; for those lacking ability, artificially raising the nasal bridge can result in turmoil.

Many people undergo surgeries to change their faces and chins to meet public expectations, instantly gaining the confidence to flaunt their newfound appearance. What they don't realize is that altering their face and chin might be diminishing their own fortune. What is fortune? It involves the ability to garner positive attention. Some people become arrogant, losing themselves, which signals misfortune. Others remain calm, unaffected by superficiality, which signifies true fortune.

For those who alter their faces and chins to gain attention, the act itself is indicative of misfortune. Achieving a face that attracts attention may provide temporary satisfaction, but it can lead to an indulgence in character, gradually depleting their fortune, and making life increasingly difficult.

While everyone loves beauty, this should not serve as an excuse. Is altering one's face truly a reflection of a love for beauty? Perhaps it is more about satisfying one’s own psychological desires. If one truly appreciated beauty, why would they feel jealousy towards those more attractive instead of valuing them? Pleasure must be aligned with virtue; diminishing one’s enjoyment artificially only leads to less satisfaction, and greater resentment distorts desires further.
