If you can think straight when faced with an issue, this is regarded as good affinity. On the other hand, it is regarded as negative affinity if you can’t think straight. Both are considered to be karmic affinities, be it good or bad. It all depends on how you deal with it.
遇事想通就是善缘，想不通就是恶缘，善缘恶缘都是缘，看人怎样去对待。
