Hi,

Frankly, this is usually considered too insignificant to be a major concern in Feng Shui—the influence is simply too minor. It’s similar to the idea of using an imperial

Frankly, this is usually considered too minor to be a big concern in Feng Shui—the influence is very small. It’s like using special measurements or a Feng Shui ruler, but for most people, it’s not practical to buy custom furniture, such as tables, just to get lucky sizes. While Feng Shui recommends furniture with good measurements, what should we do when shopping? Many practical Feng Shui experts say to trust your own feelings. For more information, you can visit: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/ruler.htm

It’s like needing a metal mailbox that opens toward the main door—sometimes it’s just needed. We shouldn’t let Feng Shui rules control everything we do. The same goes for having a TV in the bedroom. I’ve seen cases where two sliding doors seem to cut across the bed, but should couples argue about where to put the TV just to follow Feng Shui rules? Today, most TVs have anti-glare screens, and for smaller TVs, people who are sensitive to reflections can buy an anti-glare guard to help reduce them.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Common sense vs Stigmas vs Taboos?

Common sense is practical knowledge or reasoning that most people use to make everyday decisions. It’s based on general experience and logical thinking about what is safe, sensible, or effective.

Stigmas are negative labels or judgments that society places on certain behaviors, conditions, or situations. They create shame or social rejection for people associated with those things, discouraging open discussion or acceptance.

Taboos are strong cultural or religious prohibitions against specific actions or topics. Taboos are considered unacceptable or forbidden, and violating them often triggers strong emotional reactions or social penalties.

In short, common sense helps us make good decisions, while stigmas and taboos are social pressures that shape what people think is acceptable or unacceptable.
