Commonsense and Feng Shui

[Cecil Lee]

1. Where one intends to be a Feng Shui wanabi or interested in D.I.Y. (Do-it-yourself) Feng Shui;

2. From my personal experience; 30 to 50 percent of the time many of the Feng Shui concepts have their origins under "commonsense".

3. Under this work-in-progess site; there are many so called Feng Shui concepts that have their origins under simple everyday "commonsense" or "cowsense":-

4. Take for example; these photos; which have nothing to do with Feng Shui.

4.1 Any person who uses their commonsense would know that in the first place; why torture the plant by constructing a "perfect" fitting circular planter.

4.2 Even if the person who constructed it perhaps is a worker; how about his supervisor? Did someone think about a maturing tree?

4.3 From the photos; one can see that the brick walls had cracked and new plaster were placed at - at least 4 different sides of the circular planter.

5. Not only is it cruel to the tree to enclose it like that; but in the next few years; many more repairs has to be done!

6. Many more patches or fixes need to be made regularly costing not only time and effort but money. Be it from the sinking fund of the estate or even tax payer's money (since this is a public housing estate in Bukit Batok Street 21!)

6. In Feng Shui also same thing! Morale of the story? "Get it right the first time!"

1. Again; this is another costly "no-brainer".
2. Furthermore, if initally commonsense had prevail; this would not have happened!
3. Let's say, even if one has the highest IQ and education; but could not look into the practical side of things... this ain't no good.
4. This reminds me of the Commonsense reasoning of "non-conductivity" of heat from parquet flooring. This is why many quality homes use parquet flooring for their bedrooms. For example, when we wake up; our feet touches the ground. And if the floor is made of tiles or granite or marble; our feet feels the cold. While steeping on wood (parquet) is another thing all together. Commonsense, commonsense and commonsense prevail.
