Signs and superstitions about life

Signs and superstitions appeared in ancient times. Some of them have reached us unchanged, some have changed their meaning. They vary from people to people. A textbook example - a cat. The Russians consider the black cat to be a bad omen , the Japanese have a good omen, and the English once considered it a bad sign for a white cat. As you know, Alexander Pushkin was pretty superstitious and did not take part in the Decembrist uprising because he ran across a black ... hare!

In pagan times a man considered himself a toy in the hands of absurd and not always just gods and felt the need to unravel their will. Approximately the same as now in some offices and offices, according to known to all employees, signs try to unravel the mood of the boss. In ancient times, a host of admissions and superstitions about the life of man arose: how this or that phenomenon can affect it.

It should be noted that these signs were born in those days when, on the one hand, a person did not yet realize himself as a person (this understanding was much later, according to scientists, hardly before the 18th century), on the other - life was short and full dangers. In addition, many pagan religions have fatalism in one way or another. For the Greeks, for example, it's Rock. Let us recall the legend of Oedipus: all attempts to change destiny only made it inevitable.

In this regard, it is interesting to consider the text of "The Lay of Igor's Campaign" - a monument of ancient Russian literature. Prince Igor goes on a campaign with an unfavorable attitude: at the time of a solar eclipse. And, indeed, he is defeated and taken prisoner. But only an unknown author explains this sad event not by an eclipse, but by the fact that Igor did not put on patrols and, entering the battle, thought not of his homeland, but of his own glory - that is, had bad thoughts. We can assume that the author to some extent argues with superstition.

The word "superstition" means "meaningless, vain faith." The belief in the connection with the cosmos through the hair, which does not have a scientific or at least an empirical basis, may be related to superstition. But what about the signs about life, then there are possible options.

Sign: a new haircut - a new life

Those who have changed their lives after the haircut, were they initiators of changes in life or objects of application of another's will, be it deity or cosmos? It seems that a woman who decided to change her image hoped to change her life. After all, a woman by nature is an actress, and a new haircut for her as a new role. A woman and behave differently, and feels more confident, and her eyes burn with the feeling of adventure. Of course, it attracts new people to it, and there it is not far and before the change of life. She really wanted it, right? Perhaps, here it is possible to talk about the influence of the omens on personal life. But hardly anything more cosmic. Change of image is already sufficient reason for the woman's life to change. Here, attention from those who had hardly noticed it before, and a new sense of self.

In addition, and in fact there is a trick to clip the hair, and it means it will soon change its life. And people often act based on it, because it gives them hope - the hope that you can change your destiny. It often happens that happiness is somewhere near, but the person does not notice it. We must change ourselves, look at a different angle, and then everything will become obvious. A new haircut is just the way to change yourself and adjust your attitude to life - can it not cause a change?
