With anything in this world it's really simple. Either you're shown
How it works. or That it works.
otherwise how would any sane person believe it?
People all know this concept and automatically apply it in their daily lives, until it touches on their personal belief: Be it religion, feng shui, get rich quick schemes, gambling or any other baseless believes.
"It cannot be proven by modern methods, so I can't show you how or that it works." That just doesn't cut it. If that were the case, I'd tell you that I can grow your money. Don't ask me how, you won't understand it even if I told you, just give it to me, and I'll give you what you've made when it comes.

- Neighbourhood aunties tell you that you can't do this, you can't do that. It's your off day, but you can't move houses, you'll have to wait for an auspicious day.
- Instead of designing your home in a way that you feel comfortable with, you are required to make it in a way that you feel uneasy with, ironically for the purpose of improving your well being.
- It is an unnecessary added fear factor. You already have to fend of criminals, conman, and natural disasters in your daily lives, now you'll have to also worry about unseen forces which you don't even know whether it's real.
- You waste time & money, to invest in counter measures
- Rules become confusing, and we become the laughing stock of foreigners. Floor 3B? seriously?
- Wasted effort- some perfectly good houses are unable to be sold, because nobody dares to buy it. So you don't care about Feng Shui, but when you buy, you'll still need to consider whether you're able to sell it off in future, alas you cannot.
- Wasted man power- brilliant minds, could spend their effort on other things like doctors, teachers, or farmers, instead they are wasting their time as Feng Shui Consultants and Feng Shui Accessories businessmen.
- A safe haven for Con men to reside in. It's difficult to pretend to be a doctor because what you do can be scrutinized by the rest of the medical community. If you're a self proclaimed Feng Shui expert, it's your word against theirs.
Added on July 30, 2010, 9:53 amWhat people should really worry about is the actual and realistic issues of the property.
Instead of following strange vague rules. You should instead ask yourselves, if I were to live here for the next few years, what will effect me?
Instead of worrying about, the nearby graveyard, you should be concerned about, the crime rate of that area (the real ghost. lol).
How far is the house from food source, protection, family, work, transport.
If you do not consider this, no matter how big your pak koa is, or what mountain is behind your house, you're life will not be as smooth as you'd like.
