In fact, the question is, of course, controversial. But at least this statement deserves investigation. So you can’t give a watch? Perhaps, if you strongly believe in signs, it is better to refrain from such gifts. A person who is confident that something will happen to him will involuntarily attract the realization of his fears into his life. Indeed, judging by Chinese traditions, giving a watch is a bad omen.
In any case, if a person who receives such a gift turns out to be superstitious, then he will begin to expect trouble. And faith, as you know, is the realization of the expected and the confidence in the invisible. And yet, why not give a watch? Probably, this sign should have some background.
So it is, and it turns out that there will be many of them. In particular, it is believed that you can not give a watch to your beloved boyfriend. True, if the boyfriend bothered you with his importunity, then, on the contrary, in this way you can try to push him off your threshold. Well, let's start with the Chinese signs. As you know, in our time, the Chinese horoscope, philosophy, martial arts and so on are in fashion.
So why not give watches, according to Chinese signs? But because the locals believe that this action can be interpreted only as an invitation to a funeral. Whose funeral is involved, and on what basis such an assumption is made, is not specified, but many people believe in such a sign quite sincerely.
And our Slavic signs, what do they say? Why can not give a watch? They say that our ancestors believed that such gifts lead to parting not only with loved ones, but also with close friends. But did you know that the first hours on Earth were solar and nobody could give them to anyone simply physically? Then came aquatic, which, according to history, was invented in Greece. Wristwatches appeared almost in our time and were made exclusively for women, while men wore pocket watches on a chain.
That's it! Our Slav ancestors, most likely, were generally guided by the sun, stars, various natural phenomena. But what can you do if the sign says otherwise? In general, I personally have been given such gifts repeatedly, and everything was in order. But then one day I broke a small mirror and believed that it was a terrible omen, and something bad would happen. So it was, and trouble haunted me for quite some time. It was the real black streak in my life.
And what about the clock? It may have nothing to do with it, but faith in signs, in my opinion, is out of place.
In the end, we are engaged in research, and we are interested in why it is impossible to give hours according to legend. That is, what signs exist. And here is such a legend. According to her, you can’t give any sharp objects, but in the watch the hands have sharp ends. It turns out that with such a gift you can cut the invisible thread connecting the relationship.
In Japan, however, there is a sign that such gifts are tantamount to the wish of death to man. Now imagine that your boss at work gives you a watch. What does that mean? You can understand in two ways. For example, in this way, you are given to understand that it’s enough to be late for work and, in general, it’s time to become more focused. But maybe, on the contrary, the boss appreciates your work very highly?
Here is another sign why you can not give a watch. Because in this way you shorten the life span of the person you are giving.
In fact, the most important, perhaps, is the psychological aspect. So I told readers my story with a broken mirror. By the way, as luck would have it, then there was one "expert" who was not slow to make a frightened face and began to devote me to the significance of this sign. I, too, became scared, and the fears subsequently materialized.
But I would not refuse to receive a good watch as a gift. The problem is that everyone is literate and understands that such gifts should not be given. But I know what to do in this case. Just pay for it symbolically. Give the donor petty money. Do not forget to smile at the same time so as not to embarrass a good person.
