When it comes to the fortieth anniversary, birthday people are confused, condemned and surprised by those around them. What's the matter? Why should women and men not celebrate 40 years?
I must say that this is superstition. Each person treats beliefs in his own way. Some are looking for special meaning in superstitions, others believe without reasoning, while others have big doubts about the veracity of accept. But signs for the wedding and other beliefs are still popular.
Even people who do not like to celebrate holidays do not disregard anniversaries. Some organize a big and noisy event, while others gather in the company of close people and friends.
The superstition in question has no scientific side. No one can explain why it is better not to celebrate the fortieth anniversary. Only religion and esoterics will have superficial arguments that reveal the secret of the prohibition. Let's consider the main versions.
- In the divination on the Tarot cards, the four symbolizes death. The number 40 is absolutely identical to the four in value. This argument is not able to withstand any criticism.
- The church has a different opinion. If you carefully study the bible, it turns out that many important events have a close relationship with the number 40, but none of them is characterized by a negative color.
- According to historical postulates, in the old days only the lucky ones lived to the age of forty, which was considered advanced. Therefore, the anniversary was not celebrated so as not to draw attention to old age, indicating the imminent end of life.
- The most reasonable explanation is that before the age of 40 years was considered a period of rethinking life, which was preceded by the transition of the soul to a different state. According to the belief, the guardian angel leaves a person who has reached the age of forty, since by this moment he had acquired life wisdom. There are no contradictions in this argument. But there is no evidence that jubilee festivities bring disaster.
For unknown reasons, the holiday is associated with misfortunes that differ in significance and meaning. One person pinched a finger, another had an accident, and a third lost a loved one. But such events happen not only after the fortieth birthday. This proves that belief is a terrible force that captures thoughts.
