But you can't be completely superstitious about fortune telling, and people's fate still has a chance to change. I suggest you remind this acquaintance of yours that the only way to realize his wish is to "do good without seeking any personal gain". "One good deed deserves another" is an eternal truth. Don't just look at the present. Many people say that good people are not rewarded. In fact, good news may not come immediately, and even if it does, we onlookers may not be able to perceive it.
If your friends don't believe me, please calmly observe the foundation of all cultures, including the three major religions in the world, Confucianism and Taoism in China, almost all of which are based on benevolence and benevolence.
Good luck to you and your friends! Amitabha.
