Different cultures, different “lucky” days. For the Chinese 6/6/6 (6 June 2006) was considered the luckiest day of the century (they forgot about 6 June 2066?) and couples were marrying in droves – seems 3,000 in Beijing only, according to Beijing Today.
In the western world, 666 is viewed as the sign of the devil (the mark of the Beast). Pregnant women in some western countries were delaying their pregnancy… But for the less serious, they could go to Hell, a tiny city 96 Km west of Detroit in the USA where they could buy T-shirts with 666 or a certificate “they spend a day in Hell” – and have a great party in Hell.
We avoid “13”. For me it has a particular meaning – it all goes wrong that day and later it turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Sometimes. Our Chinese friends don’t like 4 (= death), so don’t surprised if sometimes there is no 4th floor in the elevators.
But to be (feel) happy, see here what a friend sent me:
A dog asks his master “Where is happiness?”. The master answers “It’s just on the tip of your tail. Just always go ahead and happiness will follow you!”
Pity I don’t have a tail.
