‘THE NINE REFRAINMENTS IN LIFE’ WHEN DEALING WITH PEOPLE, MATTERS AND IN TAKING CARE OF OUR HEALTH
6. Refrain from living in an excessively large house
Sixth, refrain from living in an excessively large house, that is, your house should not be too spacious. One should be flexible enough to live in any space as long as it is clean and comfortable. You should not make your dwelling too extravagant and grand.
In the past, it was said that if a house is too big, the family’s fortune will go on the decline. From the feng shui perspective, if there are only three people living in too large a home, the home will lack human energy and this is when ghosts will come. Take a look at where we are, there are so many of us here, do you think ghosts will even dare to come? As such, an overly extravagant living space will result in the person’s loss of willpower which eventually leads him to moral degeneration.
