Do you believe in omens? Despite the fact that we live in the 21st century, when science and high technologies are developing, many still believe in signs. One of the most common about the clock - say that give the clock to parting. Where did this belief come from? You can not give a watch because you will be next to a close person just as much as they will go, but as soon as they stop - you can not avoid separation?
Why to give a watch is a bad omen?
Let's try to figure out why this is the way it is believed and where this opinion came from.
- In China and Japan, the presented watches are perceived as the wish of the nearest death.
- In the Middle Kingdom, the clock is regarded as an invitation to a funeral.
- In some countries in Europe, the hands of the clock are perceived as a sharp object, and those, as you know, are not given. Ancestors have long believed that sharp objects attract the house to evil spirits.
It is also believed that the clock counts down and shortens the person's age.
Why do not they give the watch to their beloved?
They say that if you give the girl a watch, it will lead to a quick separation from her. But there are many examples of partitions, regardless of what someone gave them. Therefore, to assert for sure that the watch is the harbinger of separation, it is impossible. Let's just say one thing, a watch is an expensive and status gift, an excellent accessory that any girl will appreciate. A loved one always, looking at his watch, will remember who gave it to her.
If you or that person you are gifting are superstitious, then the best way out of the situation will be to accept any sum of money for a gift, even 5 kopecks. It is then that the thing as a gift loses its meaning and grows into an object of sale, and no bad omen in this case does not attach. I hope, we helped to understand how to give a watch properly and how to get around all the unpleasant moments, so that your gift is liked by the gifted person.
