There are many old sayings and sayings circulating in rural areas. As the experience of our ancestors for thousands of years, they embody the wisdom of our ancestors. It is not superstition, but a collection of wise sayings accumulated from practice, but it is dressed in a somewhat mysterious cloak that makes people feel superstitious. In fact, as long as you understand the truth deeply, you will find it of great benefit.
For example, as the old saying goes, "It is better to be next to a grave than to face it." There was a story in the past: There was a family where the owner always felt that he was having bad luck, his business was going downhill, and his family was suffering from various illnesses. So the owner went to a fortune teller, hoping to tell his fortune. The fortune teller made a fortune teller on the spot and said: "There is a tomb in the southeast of your house. If you dig up the tomb, it will be fine."
The owner thought, no, there is no tomb in the southeast of his house. , so the fortune teller said you should think about it carefully. The owner thought for a while, but still said no. The fortune teller said again: "Think further." The owner thought again and suddenly realized that there was indeed a tomb in the southeast, several miles away from home. The owner spent a lot of money to beg others to move the tomb, and his luck improved a lot after that.
The story itself is about a fortune teller who deceives people, because in the southeast of almost every house in the countryside, you can find a grave if the distance is not limited. But the story also illustrates the truth about how much psychological influence can have on people. As the saying goes, if you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you will not have it. If you firmly believe that doing something can change yourself, then the effect of continuous hypnosis is very powerful.
Looking back, why does the old saying in rural areas say "it is better to be next to a grave than to be opposite the door"? In rural areas, especially in mountainous areas, many tombs are very close to the village, and may be close to someone Home, but if we don’t see it often, even if we live very close to the grave, the impact on many people will be limited. But if the grave is opposite the door of our house and we can see it every day when we go out, then the impact on people will be obvious in the long run.
Imagine that you open the door to welcome a new day. You are in a good mood, but when you see a tomb standing at the opposite door, your mood will probably be affected. For people with weak concentration, things will often pop up in their minds. As the saying goes, "out of sight is stillness." Every day, I see that most people can't calm down even if they want to be still. It is a matter of probability, and the health status is worrying.
In addition, as the old saying goes, "the grave in front of the door, the water behind the house, the family will be scattered and the family will not return." If the door is opposite to the grave, relatives and friends must be afraid of the impact. In this way, there will be less movement, less people will bring less wealth and opportunities, and people's communication will be affected in the long run.
Of course, this sentence is not just that. It is good to be "neighbor to the tomb", but not to be "across the door from the tomb". Rather than to be "opposite the door to the tomb", many people would rather be "neighbor to the tomb", at least they would not see it every day when they go out. Out of sight, out of mind. Annoying.
The saying "It's better to be next to a grave than across from it" is not superstitious. What our ancestors want to tell us is how much psychological influence can have on a person. For example, a person who is good at himself. An encouraging person will definitely be very strong, optimistic, and passionate in his heart. It will be difficult for such a person to succeed, and a person who often denies himself, is unhappy, and is passive and world-weary will not only affect his fortune, but also his life and work. Work is also very harmful to the body.
Many common sayings are like this. They are the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors for thousands of years. It just depends on whether we can truly understand it. If we cannot understand it, it will become superstitious. Understanding it. The truth will be of endless use.
