Mrs. Donna, I would consider that it is Daoist. There is good in the bad, and bad in the good. If the fortune told you that you would become the richest person in the world tomorrow, do you think this would be all wonderful?! Do you think you would have no problems and would never get ill and would not have to pay taxes or die?
No, even as the world's richest person, you will experience terrible and sad things. People will use you and lie to you and cheat you, etc. If you were not the richest person these people would not do that.
So the fortune teller told you that it is the worst of the worst. Is that entirely a bad thing? Is there such a thing as only bad???
No, especially according to Taoism. Perhaps you can find comfort knowing that your "illness" means something else. For example, maybe you will face some great challenge. Perhaps you are chosen for this challenge because you are the strongest one in your family and only you can shoulder this burden. Perhaps this burden you carry will save your family some troube. Should you cry about taking this burden, to save you family?
No, you shouldn't. Our families are the most important thing. It would be an honor to serve your family in this way and they would remember you forever for your sacrifice.
This is just one example of how this "bad" news can be accepted.
The darkness and light swirl together endlessly, each with a part of the other. This is the natural world we are a part of. Things will happen because it is natural. Do not fear what is natural.
