Eyelid Twitching

Have you ever got the eyelid twitch? On which eye?

Chaco, who is my best friend in Taipei, told me that he lost money today and his left eyelid has twitched all day long. He was unhappy about that and keeping talking the old saying must be wrong. There's an old saying that "Eyelid twitching on the left may hint you that you'll earn more money recently; Eyelid twitching on the right may give you the hint that you might get disasters these days". Chaco was expecting to get more money at the beginning while his eyelid twitched on the left for he went to buy several lotteries that more than he was used to. As we all know that God didn't take him as the lucky guy on that day. I tried to comfort him that it might become true later these days.

I think most of people have this kind of experience "eyelid twitching". I had too. But, I was not that positive thought as Chaco. I always be serious about everything during those days for I took the sign as a hint for something might be out of control. Preventing things from bad to worse. And it usually went well for me.

There's a different opinion on medicine. If you didn't sleep well or work too hard which might overwork your eyes, you will be very easy to get the eyelid twitching. And you may get worst, if you're also on a diet. There's another special view of Chinese medicine that you might not have enough "chi", the power of body. I think they're almost the same to explain the reason why you get the eyelid twitching. And that will answer to the old saying. For your body is so tired, you may doing things improperly which would get you into trouble easily.

Hence you need to take more rests and vitamins when your eyelid starts to twitch. Or you could try the traditional way that Taiwanese do: Pinching the twitching eyelid lightly with your own saliva and say “lucky me” three times only. They said it is really helpful. Have you ever got the eyelid twitch? On which eye? You may take a try if you can endure the spit dried on your eyelid...
