At first, to many it may appear so, but on reasoning the matter out it will be seen to be just the reverse. Palmistry does not positively state that a certain thing must happen, but points out what the tendencies are, and what will probably occur if events and circumstances are left to themselves. Man is a free agent, and is endowed with a free will, not always subject to fatal­ism, therefore be can over rule and guide the circumstances and events of his life to a great extent, although he cannot alter all the circumstances connected with his dealings with others.
