What if My Palm Reading is Wrong?
It isn’t. Maybe your palm reading says there is an aspect of your personality that you don’t agree with, or it gives you some bad news you don’t like, but your palm is telling the truth. It is always better to know the truth from a palm reading than to be unaware of things, even if the truth is unpleasant. It is possible you misunderstood a line or mistook one line for another one, and that is why your palm reading seems inaccurate. If you think your palm reading told you the wrong thing, check the palm reading guides, and do the reading again. If you still don’t agree with the reading, get another opinion. Chances are, another set of eyes can spot something you missed! That’s what friends are for.
