CuffLinks For Him

Dressing for Luck

Many people choose to study the zodiac, feng shui and other philosophies that systematize people’s ability to attract and retain luck for every aspect of their lives. Even a skeptic economist could very well start believing in the power of these charms and systems since the Chinese have displayed diligence, temerity and long streaks of luck to achieve their elevated status amongst other nations.

 

While many people do not truly subscribe to the Chinese’s philosophy, few acknowledge that there is no harm in trying to adopt doable practices that have the potential to enhance their lives. One trendy way to attract luck is to wear Yin Yang cufflinks. These designer cufflinks illustrate the ancient Chinese belief that success stems from achieving balance between good and evil, dark and light. Ironically, this echoes the age-old saying that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

 

Religion and zen cufflinks are sure to add an interesting feature to your outfit. This would be a perfect accent for a Chinese Cheongsam or traditional dress for women as well as traditional shirts for men. Why not go all out in attracting luck on special occasions like the Chinese New Year, which usually comes in February, or even during the regular Christian holidays by wearing brightly colored outfits and accessories that still exude a classic touch? Just keep it simple. Let the accessories speak for themselves. Be careful in your choices — a dress that’s too loud may turn off luck instead of attracting it.

Philosophizing the Mundane, Balancing the Illogical

Although it’s quite odd that the Chinese doesn’t only rest almost everything in luck but has even made a way to systematize how people should attract luck, and although the system itself is perceived as pseudo-science, it is nevertheless still amazing how those who believe in Chinese philosophy and follow its tenets coincidentally gets “lucky” almost at the right time and situation.

 

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Chinese pseudo-science is affirmed here. But polarization, being the result of a coincidence, is not just an assumption that can be found only in Chinese philosophy, nor is it exclusively recognized for attracting luck. Polarity, that is the dialectical relationship of objects which act upon another to bring about change, is a very legitimate philosophical doctrine.

 

The only difference with Chinese pseudo-science is that it acknowledges coincidence as part of the process of change even if its role is oriented to externalities.

 

How would this relate to a person’s boring life? It should be noted that in this discourse, luck is not the topic but polarity. Luck was only discussed to prove a certain point: that polarity exists and cannot simply be disregarded in favor of luck, nor luck be brushed aside for polarity. In anyway, polarity necessitates balance. While the disruption of the balance may be the one called coincidence. Both are universals but while coincidences metaphysical, balance should be fostered by man.

 

To make a parable out of the discourse, imagine buying a pair of designer cufflinks. You may test your luck or disrupt the balance of the occasion by pairing religious and zen cufflinks in a ball with a completely different motif. Try wearing Yin Yang cufflinks and let’s see if you’d get to be lucky enough to look good.
