As the ancients say, “Rather than being born with a poor fate, one should avoid having the appearance of poverty.” This saying is filled with profound wisdom. It means that while it’s acceptable to be born into a disadvantaged situation (poor fate), it’s unacceptable to have an appearance or demeanor that reflects poverty.
As the saying goes, ‘Appearance reflects the mind’. A person’s facial features and spiritual outlook are true reflections of their inner world. While the term “appearance of poverty” may belong to old societal terminology, it can still reveal a person’s real circumstances。
“A poor fate can be changed, but an appearance of poverty is hard to remedy。” After reading this saying left by our ancestors, you’ll be amazed at their wisdom and find it very practical。
1。 Rather than being born with a poor fate
The ancients placed great emphasis on the concept of fate, which was influenced by the feudal system。 Under this belief, people were divided into different classes。 In this context, kings, dukes, and high-ranking officials were considered to have “fortunate fate,” while ordinary people and the poor were labeled as “poor fate。”
Generally speaking, “fate” refers to a person’s developmental trajectory, family background, and conditions at birth。 In modern society, for example, those born into wealthy families are often called “fortunate fate” individuals and become “wealthy second generation。” On the other hand, children born into less privileged families are considered to have “poor fate。”
2。 Avoid having an appearance of poverty
The term “appearance of poverty” may seem harmless, but it actually signifies something more serious。 While a poor fate can be changed through effort, the consequences of having an appearance of poverty are far more severe。 A person’s ultimate outcome—whether they achieve wealth or remain poor—is not only determined by their living conditions but also heavily influenced by their inner qualities。
While there are many examples in life of people from humble beginnings achieving great success (rags to riches), those with an appearance of poverty may struggle to maintain their fortune, even if they attain it。 In this sense, a poor fate can still be changed through effort, but an appearance of poverty is far more dangerous。
Warm Reminder: While one’s innate fate cannot be altered, their acquired fate can be adjusted. If you are interested in understanding your destiny or improving your luck, consider consulting a professional Yin Jing (I-Ching) and Feng Shui master。 They can help adjust your surroundings, choose a auspicious name, or provide guidance to avoid misfortune and achieve good fortune。
