Chapter 6 - Witty sayings and aphorisms about fate

Misfortune is when luck no longer lends its hand. -- (Young Chaser)

A person who is constantly unfortunate will find it hard to believe that

they are lucky when they suddenly become fortunate. -- (Young Chaser)

Everyone's past has its classic moments. — (Young Chaser)

If you are controlled by others, you must obey their orders. — (Young

Zhui Ming)

When a person is extremely confident, they will not consult divination

or worry about their fortune.

When you start caring about your fate, that's usually when you've lost

faith. — (A stunning shot)

Countless helpless and suffering people around the world have made

wishes to Heaven, but in the end, Heaven does not grant their wishes!

If one cannot get what one desires by making a vow, what is the point

of making one?

I'd rather not follow fate's will! — (A stunning shot)

Those who are afraid of trouble, even if they don't cause trouble, will

eventually find themselves in trouble. — (A stunning shot)

A person can be powerless, talentless, and unambitious; with enough

luck, they can still have everything—at most, they can't achieve great

things. —(A stunning shot)

If a person has everything, even if he works very hard, he will eventually

lose everything if he lacks luck.

However, luck is beyond our control. Rather than waiting for it, we

should create it—regardless of whether luck comes or not, at least we've

earned our pride. —(A stunning shot)

Never judge a person's fate based on their actions.

Whether retribution exists, is accurate, or fair is entirely unreliable.

To rely on retribution is like asking a scholar for advice on politics: using

old information and dead knowledge from books to deduce the

political realities and opportunities of a court with endless variables is

like asking a blind man for directions.

Relying on karma, or on yourself. — (Sad Little Arrow)

The mind changes with the environment; what kind of person you are

determines what kind of mood you have.A growing person must take responsibility for their own image. — (Sad

Little Arrow)

The saying that heavenly secrets cannot be revealed is just an excuse.

There are no secrets of heaven in the world; people just call the

unspeakable truths secrets of heaven.

Even if there are heavenly secrets, how could mortals like you and me

know them? It's merely a forced interpretation, a deliberate attempt to

create mystery. — (Sad Little Arrow)

Humans live within time; if you control all of their time, it's tantamount

to completely controlling their entire being. — (Sad Little Arrow)

A person's failure doesn't necessarily mean they've truly failed, but

giving up on oneself is what truly makes someone hopeless. — (Sad

Little Arrow)

Strength and background are the conditions for achieving great things.

A person with lofty ambitions and unfulfilled talents is most vulnerable

when born at the wrong time. — (A stunning shot)

Some people use the movement of stars to calculate the ups and downs

that affect their lives, but the number of stars is always the same.

A good star may work well in the previous few years or major cycles, but

it will naturally be lacking in the next few years or major cycles.

If we observe the rise and fall of fate using the Five Elements'

generating and restraining relationships, then there will inevitably be

gains and losses, and not every combination will be as desired.

If you put the zodiac signs whose influence is limited to ten years into a

grid, just a few squares, a person will have lived a lifetime.

If you were to calculate a person's destiny based on their birth time, you

could sum up their entire life in just eight characters.

Nothing in life is perfect. —(Young Iron Hand)

Those who perform divination and fortune-telling, if accurate, reveal

heavenly secrets; if inaccurate, they deceive the gods and ghosts. They

always lack both fortune and longevity; either their blessings are

insufficient, or they die young. —(Young Iron Hand)

Good omens often arrive late, while evil punishments seem to come

without delay. —(Young Iron Hand)

Coincidence is often the key to changing history.A chance accident can absolutely affect the life of an individual or a

group of people. —(Young Cold-Blooded)

Humans are naturally prone to letting opportunities slip by.

Because when opportunities arise, it's always difficult to distinguish

between good and bad, important and trivial.

And people, if they can't see themselves clearly, they also can't

recognize opportunities.

However, sometimes it's hard to judge gains and losses: you might lose

an opportunity but gain an even better one, and gaining that better

opportunity actually means losing another great one. — (Sad Little

Arrow)

In life, many things, if they happen to be "by chance"—by serendipity—

can become incredibly difficult, yet relatively easy to accomplish. If not,

even easy tasks can become extremely difficult. —(Sad Little Arrow)

The best time is often the worst time.

Or rather, your best opportunity is often your enemy's worst

opportunity. — (Sad Little Arrow)

Different people in the world have different opportunities.

Some people's chance might be finding a silver ingot, while others

might just step in a pile of dung. Some have a romantic encounter,

some meet the leader of the biggest gang, and some even meet the

emperor! — (Sad Little Arrow)

There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. From the

moment a person is born, whether rich or poor, beautiful or ugly,

intelligent or dull, fairness already eludes them. —(Sad Little Arrow)

The doctrine of reincarnation holds that the consequences of one's

actions in this life are the result of good deeds done in the previous life.

In this sense, evil deeds in the past lead to suffering in this life, while

good deeds in this life will only bring good fortune in the next.

Unfortunately, whether there was a past life or not, we don't know.

Is there an afterlife? We're not sure.

The creation of historical records by people is truly one of the most

unbelievable forms of divination: since events that occurred in past and

future lives are unknown in terms of accuracy, what is the point?

It's better to just focus on this life; that would be more reassuring. —

(Young Iron Hand)I believe that the previous life precedes the present, influencing this life;

just as doing good deeds while we are alive can influence our past lives,

giving us more control over our destiny. This is a more positive

approach, and it brings greater peace of mind. —(Young Iron Hand)

In physiognomy, sound is considered the highest form of identification.

Even if a person's palm lines are flawed and their face is unremarkable,

as long as their voice is clear and their speech is articulate, they still

have merit and potential.

Because sound arises from breath, strong breath produces a strong

sound, a strong sound leads to a strong body, a strong body naturally

leads to a strong mind, and with both body and mind strong, great

potential can be achieved. — (Young Chasing Life)

Life and death are beyond our control, therefore life is nothing more

than a journey of suffering. — (Young Chasing Life)

A person's life is often changed by a series of seemingly insignificant

choices or decisions. — (Drawing a sword in anger)

When someone looks at their palm lines to inquire about their fate, it's

because they feel anxious and uncertain about their future. — (Drawing

a sword in anger)
