The red thread of destiny?

in #story7 years ago

Hello my readers, today I wanted to bring you this story which I was curious about a movie that I saw called "The red thread" seemed so intriguing that I wanted to investigate to see where all this came from, really the story I will show you does not have q to see with the movie but if from where the legend arises.
I hope you enjoy it and have another way of seeing the situations and people that are in your lives.

This legend emerges when it is discovered that the ulnar artery connects the heart with the little finger.


When being united by that artery it was begun to say that the red threads of the destiny united the pinkies with the hearts; that is, they symbolized shared interest and the union of feelings.

That's also why we make promises in some countries by interlacing these fingers with the other.

The story itself tells that between two or more people who are destined to have an affective bond there is a "red thread," which comes with them from birth.

The thread exists independently of the moment of their lives in which people go to know each other and can not be broken in any case, although sometimes it can be more or less tense, but it is always a sample of the link that exists between them.

The most popular legend and that which is recited in almost all Japanese homes to children and young people is this:

A long time ago, an emperor learned that in one of the provinces of his kingdom lived a very powerful witch who had the ability to be able to see the red thread of destiny and he had it brought before his presence.
When the witch arrived, the emperor ordered him to look for the other end of the thread that he had tied to his little finger and to take him to what would be his wife; the witch agreed to this request and began to follow and follow the thread.
This search took them to a market where a poor peasant with a baby in her arms offered her products. On reaching this peasant woman, she stopped in front of her and invited her to stand up and made the young emperor come up and said: "Here ends your thread", but upon hearing this, the emperor enraged believing it was a mockery of the witch.
He pushed the peasant who was still carrying her little daughter in her arms and made her fall causing the baby to get a big wound in the forehead. Then he ordered his guards to stop the witch and cut off her head.
Many years later, the moment came when this emperor was to marry and his court recommended that the best thing to do was to marry the daughter of a very powerful general.
The emperor accepted this decision and began all preparations to wait for who would be chosen later as the wife of the great emperor. The day of the wedding arrived, but above all it was time to see his wife's face for the first time.
She entered the temple with a beautiful dress and a veil that completely covered her face. When he lifted the veil he saw for the first time that this beautiful face had a very peculiar scar on his forehead. It was the scar he had caused himself by rejecting his own destiny years before. A destiny that the witch had set before her and decided to disbelieve.

The teaching of the legend of the red thread according to Japanese tradition has to do with the understanding of destiny and the preponderant role played by love in this thread. It clearly shows how the destined loves are that, we can not escape from the person who was born to love us.!
