Well, let me tell ya, this feng shui thing, some folks say it’s bad, some say it ain’t. I heard some preacher folks sayin’ it ain’t got nothin’ to do with God’s word. They say the Bible don’t talk about no wind and water stuff, says it’s all a bunch of hooey.
What is this feng shui thing anyway? It’s somethin’ about fixin’ up your house so the air and water, or whatever, flows right. Chinese folks been doin’ it for ages, they say. Makes things harmonious, they claim. But them preachers, they say it ain’t right, sayin’ it’s some kinda false thinkin’.
- Them churchy fellas, they don’t like it one bit.
- The Bible, it don’t mention it nowhere.
- So, they say it’s bad news.
Now, I ain’t no scholar, but I heard tell that even the Catholics, they got some problems with it. Not all of it, mind you, but some parts. Seems like some of that feng shui stuff goes against what they believe. Can’t say I blame ‘em. Lots of things in this world don’t make sense to me.
Then there’s them government folks over in China. A while back, they said feng shui was no good. Called it “superstitious” and a “social evil.” Said it was holdin’ folks back. They even banned it for a while. Imagine that! Telling folks how to arrange their furniture! But them governments, they always stickin’ their noses where they don’t belong.
But here’s the thing, nobody’s ever proved this feng shui stuff works. You know, like with science and all. They ain’t got no machines to measure this “harmony” they talk about. It’s all just…feelin’s, I guess. Like when you plant your corn in the right field, you just know it’ll grow good. But that’s just common sense, ain’t it?
Is it really evil though? That’s what folks wanna know. Is it like some kinda devil magic, makin’ bad things happen? I dunno. Seems to me like it’s just movin’ furniture around. Ain’t nobody gettin’ hurt. But then again, I ain’t never tried it. Maybe them preachers and government folks know somethin’ I don’t.
I reckon it’s like this, if it makes you feel good, do it. If it don’t, then don’t. Just like eatin’ your greens. Some folks like ‘em, some folks don’t. Ain’t no right or wrong answer. Long as you ain’t hurtin’ nobody, I say you can do what you please. That’s what my grandpappy always said, God rest his soul.
So, this feng shui, maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad, maybe it’s just a whole lotta nothin’. You gotta make up your own mind about it. Don’t let nobody tell you what to think. Just use your common sense, and you’ll be alright. And if it makes you happy, well, that’s all that matters in the end, ain’t it?
Just be careful, though. Don’t go spendin’ all your hard-earned money on some fancy feng shui master who promises you the world. Most of them are just after your money, you know. Like them snake oil salesmen who used to come through town. Full of promises, but nothin’ to show for it.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this feng shui thing. Take it or leave it. I ain’t no expert, just an old woman who’s seen a thing or two in her time. And if you ask me, there’s a whole lot more important things to worry about in this world than which way your bed is facing.
