Hut of Palms

Asia Source II has unpacked itself with so many interesting surprises. One of these is the Bazaar on the 3rd day of the camp. Each of the huts have their own unique "services". One hut have country souvenirs and free massages while another have teas and cigarettes. One hut that attracted a horde of onlookers and seekers was the one with palm reading sessions.

A rush of outstretched palms yearning for interpretation were everywhere. It was emphasized that it will be personalities not the future that will be read.

Humans have an inherent nature of wanting to know their future. The mystique of palm reading spans many cultures as what was manifested. While several schools of thought have their opinions on the practice of palm reading, it has not lost its mysticism through the ages.

Isn't it interesting that in this age of modern technology, humans still rely on the age-old methods of knowing what lies ahead? What's more amusing is that it takes another person to tell someone of who they are. And yes, most of the time, this has become a point of realization.

Do you know who you really are?
