Love / Legend of the Red Threads: No one in our life comes by accident

Since the age of the world, people wanted to know what the meaning of life was. There are many philosophical teachings and enchanting legends that try to give answers.

Bright Side represents the legend of the Red Threads. It originates from Japan, and explains life mysteries in a compelling and romantic way. If faith really exists, let's hope it works exactly as described here.
Close your eyes. Imagine your body is spreading transparently. Can you imagine an infinitely complex network of blood vessels that connects all parts of the body? We owe it to these rivers that give life.

Pay attention to a rather special channel in that system - the one that connects the heart with your little finger. In this way, this is the "representative" of the heart for some of the least important fingers. That is why, in many cultures, when two are fighting or committing vows, these two little fingers cross. According to the Japanese legend, this thread originates from the heart and does not end at the tip of the finger. It continues in the form of an invisible red thread that "flows" from our little finger and continues to intertwine with the red threads of other people - linking our heart to theirs.

The two people who are connected in this way are bound by faith alone. Sooner or later, they are predestined to meet, no matter how far they live from each other, and how different their life circumstances are. And, when it happens - this meeting deeply affects both. Nor sometimes they stretch and become intricate, which could delay the fatal encounter. But this connection will never be interrupted.
Such a view of life and relationships gave the basis for holistic philosophy, which claims that our vital essence is not limited by our physical body. The supporters of the holistic approach claim that we are one with the universe and see red threads as one of the ways of understanding unity.

Have you ever thought, "This person has entered my life for a reason"?

It's very possible that you are right. Philosophy argues that although we are unaware of this, our lives are moving in a more or less defined way, driven by invisible threads that have sprung up the universe itself. These red threads shorten the distance between us and our related souls. As the Japanese say: The world has its own obstacles, but nothing happens by chance.
