What an overwhelming feeling of happiness and excitement to make and see a sad person brighten up with a radiant smile at last! It truly gives him a ray of hope and an immense joy to discover how life is too beautiful and worthwhile to be living for.
On the other hand, the story is not quite the same for everyone else. From experience, I have observed that sensitive and superstitious individuals are so wary and reluctant to have their hands read that I just wonder what could be their personal reason to become too susceptible or touchy to over react in such an aggressive and unpleasant behavior. I have the strong conviction that the outlaying reason to this general sentiment is mostly reflected from their inherent fear and suspicion of receiving bad news or tidings in the form of accident, failure, disease, illness or worse yet, death. Alas, they are only among the most common and natural elements that every mortal would have to go through in life, whether he likes it or not. Yet, I have never dared to tread into any of these somber subjects in any of my readings ever since because it would only traumatize them so much that it would make them too unhappy and despondent to continue any longer to lead a meaningful life. I always try my best to encourage them with words of hope and optimism by painting a brighter picture of their existence no matter how somber and difficult it may appear before my eyes.
It’s a general belief that a short life line is tantamount to mean an early or premature death. On the contrary, I explained to them that such a telltale sign has never been the case with all the older persons whom I’ve met that are still living and enjoying life to the full. However, the break is a rather positive than a negative happening as it would always signify a radical change from the old life to a new and happier one such as academic accomplishments with high honors, job promotion, engagement, marriage, birth, change to or purchase of a new house, move to a bigger city or a foreign country, etc.
In the course of an informal conversation, politics and religion could be too sensitive and delicate arguments to deal with particularly in an intensive debate. On the contrary, I believe any topics on handreading, astrology or other esoteric subjects could be highly interesting and effective even if it were taken for granted especially when we would like to meet and talk to any total strangers for the first time who we might feel a strong affinity to be attracted to and desperately keen to know more about them, personally and intimately. In keeping with the happy atmosphere of the occasion, however, it is my strict personal conviction not to mention or talk about any negative and unpleasant remarks whatsoever even if it were only a joke.
Having ones hands read for fun could be a very positive and wholesome experience, especially when it is done with tact, a lot of good sense of humor and spontaneity. As my own interpretation, tact is the most effective means to make a person feel at ease from the very first eye contact. This could be best conveyed by a pleasant congratulatory remark on the presence of the strong ascending lines that contribute greatly to the person’s success in his pursuit of happiness and self-fulfillment. Once the feeling of suspicion or misapprehension is gradually dissipated, the reading could proceed smoothly with much ease and trust.
With a big smile, I start the reading by a simple and easy-to-follow explanation of the topography of the principal lines while pointing with the tip of the handle of my eyeglasses the positive influences of the rising lines as these would likely mean radical but happy changes and improvements depending on their origin and position in connection to where they are heading or pointing to such as the area of ambition, family, love, marriage, happiness and accomplishments. As I’ve always observed that where the rising lines appear to be too strong and clear to leave heavy marks from an early to a later age, I could say without hesitation that the person is fortunate and contented in his life. As usual, this would always be confirmed when the person is highly satisfied with my findings.
In conclusion, when the overall results of my findings should turn out to be too satisfactory and convincing to meet the trust and esteem of the persons concerned, the rest of the reading could wind up in an outburst of excitement and laughter. To show their personal gesture of gratitude and appreciation, they would even feed in spontaneously ad-libs and jokes in the end to everyone’s heart delight.
