dolphins353:Yes and No. I believe in Astrology, palm reading, tarot reading and the things alike when they are coming from a reliable source. Can't really explain it any better than that. (
That is a bunch of crack pot stuff too. Just the readers can read their prey better.
A buddy of mine went to see a palm reader and she said he will find someone and have a baby in the next year. He did in fact do just that. It wasn't hard to tell from just looking at him and his age that he would do this eventually...even then I don't know what he told her in the room.
mumbo jumbo.
It is easy to see a civilization in decline by the amount of superstition in the general public. The more the people take control out of their hands and put it into fate's hands we fail.
Its alot like how psychics work, they basically go with the odds. Infact there was an episode of law and order SVU that explained it really well. Psychics tend to ask you questions like "Does the letter M mean anything to you" and then the person blurts out something about the letter M. The psychic didn't think about anything, he takes one of the most common letters in the english language, asks about it, and watches you tell him the answer. They just go with the odds and play with them, next time you go to a psychic, and they pull somehting like "Does the name blah mean anything" or anything like that, just say, I don't know, your the psycic, you tell me. They won't be able to figure out anything.
Another instance, my Best Friends sister went to a palm reader. Shes 24 and has a huge rock on her finger, the Psychic tells her "You are going to have a child soon" she knew that she was recently engaged by the ring, by how younge she was and looked, and knew that she didn't have any kids So all she did was try to play on the odds...
Little did she know that my best friends sister is actually unable to conceive children... She was able to play out the "You are newly married" but because of the ring, but she wasn't able to tell she wouldn't be able to get pregnant. One reason palm readers are also able to play people, is because you tend to go in and ASK a question and they give you a generic answer..
"Will I find a job soon?" Well they can say yes, very few people in their life will go with out a job.
