Why can not give gifts in advance?

In our fast-moving age, people divide cities, years, and distances. Working on a rotational basis, urgent business trips, performance of official duties away from home, round-the-clock duty, sudden illness and a number of other circumstances can prevent the timely presentation of the presentation to relatives and friends for a birthday or other holiday.

Optimists believe that to congratulate the birthday and present a gift at any time. Pessimists and superstitious people referring to ancient pagan signs say that a premature congratulation can bring the hero of the day major setbacks at work, a serious illness or even death.

Explanations of ancient signs about why you can not give gifts in advance, go back more than two thousand years ago in the era of ancient paganism. There are many options for explaining the relationship between the advance gift and subsequent adverse events. Let us briefly analyze each of them.

• Such a gift discourages the saints and spirits of deceased relatives, who come to the birthday on the eve of the significant date. According to pagan mythology, a person, deprived of the protection of his ancestors, will become vulnerable to the evil eye, curses and diseases. The explanation is based on ancient pagan myths and legends. It has nothing to do with reality.
• Birthday gifts and wishes carry a powerful charge of positive energy. Premature gift does not have such power. Without energy replenishment, a person begins to weaken and seriously ill. The explanation is based on mysticism, bioenergy, theory of torsion fields and occult sciences. There is nothing in common with the traditional scientific approach and the theory of probability in this explanation.
• At the festive table around the person, except for friends and acquaintances, gather invisible angels and demons. Premature gathering will make them angry, as a result, they can punish the birthday man. The explanation is based on ancient mythology, mysticism and related speculation.

The most logical and plausible version of the explanation of the mechanism of the adverse effects of a premature presentation (without admixture of mysticism) states the following: having read online posts about mysticism and omens, having seen enough clips with ghouls and ghouls, computer graphics thrillers, reading a lot of articles on the subject of occultism, the suspicious person begins very nervous in anticipation of a sad outcome after a premature gift.

There is a strong stress, which is the cause of the deterioration of health. Ancient omens and legends have nothing to do with it. In this version of the explanation of the events, there is a very large amount of truth, but many of the arising aspects and conclusions are in the field of psychology, extrasensory and other areas of medicine far beyond this article.

Superstition, omens and mysticism arose simultaneously with the advent of reasonable man. The lack of knowledge made it impossible for primitive man to explain elementary natural phenomena conclusively (lightning, wind, day and night, changing weather, rainbow). As a result, synthetic explanations (various superstitions and signs) arose.

In the slave-owning era, superstitions intimidated the recalcitrant slaves, instilled fear of violating ancient traditions and rituals. Paying tribute to ancient traditions and trying to find a way out of a difficult life situation, in the 21st century civilized people with two higher educations still guess on wax and coffee grounds and put a copper coin under their heels.

A simple and effective way to circumvent the bad will take - do not focus all thoughts on the possibility of a bad outcome. By focusing on the possible adverse outcome of the case initiated (based on bad omens and signs), a person creates in his mind a steady, distracting zone from the main problems. It captures memory resources for a cyclical process of finding a way out of a situation. Attention dissipates, a person begins to make gross logical errors.

Bypassing superstitions and bad will have a special meaning in the lives of people who were born on the last winter day of a leap year. Strictly following the traditions, they can celebrate their birthday on time only once in four years. All other years they are forced to accept gifts on February 28.

To minimize the negative impact of premature presents and avoid bad ones, experienced psychologists and psychics recommend the following actions.

• Hide the gift in a secluded place in the room of the birthday, informing relatives or acquaintances who will hand it to the hero of the day on time.
• Send a gift by mail with the exact date of delivery to the addressee.
• Give a present before the birthday without congratulations and wishes, saying that congratulations on the anniversary will be just in time. On the right day, you can call the hero of the day and congratulate him on the holiday.

Such tactics of behavior:

• leaves a pleasant impression from the attention paid to him;
• avoids conflict about the absence of a birthday;
• prevents unpleasant situation presenting a gift much later than the anniversary;
• allows you to present a gift on time when it is impossible to meet in person for objective reasons;
• does not affect the canons of the superstitious person’s worldview, not to hurt him or hurt him;
• creates prerequisites for further development and strengthening friendships.

Interesting fact: the statistics collected from open sources speaks of a tiny percentage of adverse events coinciding with early birthday gifts. In total, about 100,000 documented facts of presenting the presents were analyzed a few days before the birthday.
