Palmistry essentially said what is shown in your Palm demonstrate your most likely pathway in life. However, since we are born with 2 hands, the classification is one hand belong to the potentiality while the other hand belong to actuality. This classification, I suppose it has relationship with the handiness of that person. Left hand is consider as potentiality since most people doesn’t use that hand much, or that hand is always in role of auxiliary. On the contrary, the right hand is consider as actuality because most people prefer to use that hand: It play the role of dominant hand.
So the left-potentiality, right-actuality classification is due to habit of handiness. Therefore for those whose dominant hand is left instead of right, or some which both hand share similar role; the interpretation of potentiality and actuality could be reverse. The later case is most interesting since we don’t have a dominant hand, i.e. it depend on which hand the person is using for the outcome of an event.
That brought me to the question of how does pre-determined Fate interact with Free Will. If my theory is correct then one can simply change his destinate by manipulated the handiness of the individual. It is like a left-handed person learn to become right-handed, then the mirror of symmetry is broken, the destination would be rewritten. Or vice versa. For someone who can easily switch the dominant hand, there is nothing known as pre-destination to him/her. Potentiality could switch to actuality, and actuality could become potentiality. Sort of like quantum-transformation.
Thus, the framework which palmistry is built has inherent variability. Palmistry only define the range or parameter of one’s life, but it is no telling of what one can achieve. (Maybe by switching one’s thinking, one immediately change his/her destinate.)
