.:. Zodiacs .:.
Meer words dun decide my fate.
Every chinese new year people start to pay attention to the zodiac predictions, like whether it would be a good year anot,how lucky you get, luckiest colour and number, tao hua yun("meh meh"s and horse are supposed to be very lucky in this aspect this year) etc etc. Be it on channel 8 shows, at River Hongbao or at temples, its everywhere. And the strangest of things is, they all say different things.
Which makes me think. To what extent is this true, and how much do people actually believe in it. Sometimes its quite amazing people actually just listen to a few words said by others and they believe in it so much that they change their lifestyles for it. But how do we know what these people said are true? From a scientific point, a year is just simply a single rotation of the earth around the sun (taken from the point of a 20 year-old teen), which means that after one year, its just another round about the exact same path, therefore meaning nothing should be changed physically in the sense of Earth itself, much less in such things like Luck which do not even have any scientific explanation to it. So logically speaking we shouldn't believe in it right. And especially hen not so long ago when the english zodiac (meaning aquarius and all) got a rather major shift in it, so does this mean that you are no longer who you are because of the change, and that you will change into another person overnight?
But there are many things that we can't explain as well, but still we carry on with them. Like traditions, which have no scientific sense in them, but are passed down since belief from our forefathers. Its not so much as a blind faith anymore, but a connection between us and our past. Some of us let it go because we do not believe in it, while others hold on to it to preserve what's left of our forefathers, or whatevr reminders we have of them. So maybe that's what is going on here?
So in the end do you want to believe in it? I say there's nothing wrong with listening to it right.
