Why not celebrate 40 years old men?

The opinion of some representatives of strong sex that the fortieth anniversary is undesirable to celebrate, there are no scientific, historical or religious justifications for him. However, many men and women are ready with foam at the mouth to defend the correctness of this prejudice, counting the number 40 to a certain extent karmic, with which many biblical hysteries are connected. This is the forty-day wandering of the Jews headed by Moses in the desert and the forty-day post of Christ after baptism and 40 days who went to her boat during a worldwide flood. There are even other substantiations, not attracted by the "ears", why it is impossible to celebrate 40 years old men.

Religious and esoteric justifications of prohibition

According to Numerology of Tarot's cards, the figure 4 is a sign of death and fortunekalki believe that the number 40 increases the likelihood of its arrival tenfold. There is a certain logic in this explanation, but it is completely incomprehensible why there is no ban on the celebration of forty-four-year-old.

According to some historians, the ban on celebration of forty years comes from deep antiquity, when a person rarely lived to the half-century anniversary, and he could not successfully engage in his fisheries, nor the hunt, nor farming and moved to the category of dependents. Some tribes had a tradition to kill old people, which were just the forty years, but they were no longer capable of social and useful work.

The most adequate and logical explanation of this prohibition belief that has come down to today from the depths of antiquity and middle ages. In those days, forty years were considered a peak of spiritual and physical development, after which the extinction of intelligence and physical abilities began. It was not necessary to celebrate this line, since according to religious prejudices after the onset of the fortiethalesis, the Guardian Angel was leaving him, not tune in True, believing that the acquired experience would be a replacement for Divine Providence. Despite some "tension" of this argument, it has a certain logic. However, there are no actual data or historical information that the solemn celebration of the forty-thousands has brought any harm to the anniversarier.

However, most of the representatives of the powerful sex, even those who firmly know why it is impossible to celebrate 40 years old men. The main ones are:

• explain the solemn celebration by making a survey of 39 years;
• conduct a solemn feast the day after the anniversary when the man "knocks out" 40 years and one day;
• do not explain to the guests the cause of the feast;
• the ideal option when the fortieth is coincided with any (let the most insignificant) holiday - in this case the holiday is a reason for the solemn event.
