Even the ancient Pythagoreans worshiped the number "40", considering it a symbol of emptiness and completeness. A symbol of death, in other words. The superstitious inhabitants of East and Central Asia exclude the number "40" even when counting - they consider it "fatal", bringing death. Today, the human mind must give place to rationalism, and not empty self-hypnosis. But how to come to this?
How to celebrate your 40th birthday
Why do some, contrary to reason, continue to believe in signs like the one that "puts a ban" on the celebration of the fortieth anniversary? Because the irrational component takes place in any person. The variety of arguments that put the number "40" in the list of deadly ones is unreasonable.
All the mysticism surrounding the number "40" has no foundation. Maps, astrology, ancient legends and epics - are these things that should control the human mind?
You can celebrate your birthday. It is even necessary, believe me. Any superstition is based on self-hypnosis, so the first step is simply to abandon the very belief in this omen. Millions of people around the world live in peace, celebrating their fortieth anniversary.
If the situation turned out to be completely hopeless and faith in the omen remained, although there was a desire to celebrate your holiday, then you can use the following recommendations:
Celebrate not a birthday, but any significant event: the beginning of the hunting season, the victory of your favorite team … Deep down, a person will understand that he is celebrating a birthday, but formally it will not be a birthday celebration for those around him either. The main thing is to force yourself to believe it.
Rephrase the celebration - celebrate not forty years, but saying goodbye to the 39th year of your life.
Celebrate your 40th birthday another day. It is standard practice to postpone the celebration to the next weekend. Formally, even if you believe in a sign, it won't work.
What happens when you celebrate your 40th birthday?
The answer may be overwhelming … Nothing will happen! Yes exactly.
An interesting fact is that, although there is also a superstition associated with the number "40" in Christianity, many priests, archpriests or religious leaders simply laugh when asked whether to celebrate their fortieth birthday.
“All problems are in the head” - if you believe that the number “40” is the path to oblivion in the underworld of Hades, perhaps it will be so for you.
