Fifty-third Fortune Stick

Extremely Auspicious

What is thick becomes thin,

And what is thin becomes thick.

Reading the Fortune Stick Poem

The phenomenon in the world often surprises people. For example, someone who has been kind to you may receive a thin return, while someone who has been less kind may receive a thick return. An ancient saying goes: 'Do not remember the good you have done, but do not forget the good you have received.' Those who do good should not expect a return, for Heaven knows it. The meaning of this stick is that your marriage will also be like this, and you will have an unexpected good marriage.

Interpreting the Poem

This mainly explains that one's views and decisions in relationships may be affected by subjective or emotional factors. For example, when someone feels deeply in love, they may magnify the other's faults and overlook their virtues; conversely, when they are less emotionally invested, they may easily forgive the other's faults and appreciate their virtues. Therefore, in love, it is sometimes necessary to think calmly and balance emotions and reason to make the right decisions.
