Such a thing as a watch is very popular in everyday life, they surround us everywhere, and we no longer imagine our life without them. It is convenient, practical and necessary. But to give a watch, they say, is a bad omen. Let's try to figure out if this is really so.
Significance of a sign
Many believe that the gifts given are messengers of separation, parting or a long quarrel, without further reconciliation. If we consider this superstition from the point of view of the present, the receipt of a watch as a gift has grown into a bad sign because we do not know how to correctly interpret this meaning that came to us from other countries.
So, in the East such a gift is a kind of invitation to a funeral. In the Slavs, this explanation was subject to distortion, but still a subtle connection with the ancient Eastern meaning has remained: such a gift shortens the life of the person to whom they were presented.
But, there would be a desire, and no matter how negative the interpretation is not a sign in itself, it can be endowed with positive properties. Of course, let the following example never be implemented, but it will not be superfluous to mention it. For example, a watch presents as a gift to a person who is very tired of you and whom you would not like to see in the near future or for a very long time, and maybe even have a passionate desire to exclude this person from your life.
But even those who do not consider the presented watch a bad sign can not always experience only positive emotions at the sight of such a gift. By the rules of etiquette for today, watches should not be given to close people and relatives, especially men and business partners. This gift can be regarded as your unwillingness to spend time with this person, or by such an act you unknowingly inform that you are sorry for the spent life minutes for such a person.
The sign "The clock has stopped"
Often this is a sure sign of the death of the watch's owner. But it will not be superfluous to note that this sign did not always have such significance. It can be interpreted as cardinal changes in life, leading to a change in the usual circle of communication, location and the beginning of a new life.
Despite the fact that we live in a world of high technologies and a developed industry, ancient sayings, signs that indicate what to give are necessary, and from which it is necessary to abstain, still continue to live with us.
Many esoteric specialists say that if a person does not believe in any signs and in their severe meaning, then they will not be able to inflict any harm to his life.
