The red thread of destiny, the legend

.
It tells an oriental legend that the people destined to know each other are connected by a red thread. This thread never disappears and remains constantly tied to your fingers, despite time and distance.
It does not matter what it takes to meet that person, no matter how long you spend without seeing it, it does not even matter if you live on the other end of the world: the thread will stretch to infinity but it will never break. Its owner is the destiny.

This thread takes with you from your birth and will accompany you, stretched to a greater or lesser extent, more or less tangled, throughout your life. So, the Grandfather of the Moon, every night comes to know the newborn and tie a red thread to his finger. A thread that will decide their future, a thread that will guide these souls so they never get lost ... The legend goes like this:

""A long time ago, an emperor learned that in one of the provinces of his kingdom lived a very powerful witch, who had the ability to see the red thread of fate and had it brought before his presence.
When the witch arrived, the emperor ordered him to look for the other end of the thread that he wore attached to the little finger and to take him to his wife. The witch agreed to this request and began to follow and follow the thread. This search led them to a market, where a poor peasant woman with a baby in her arms offered her products. When she reached this farmer, she stopped in front of her and invited her to her feet. He made the young emperor come up to him and said, "Here ends your thread," but when the Emperor heard this, he became enraged, thinking it was a mockery of the witch.


He pushed the peasant girl who still held her little baby in her arms and made her fall, causing the baby to get a big sore on the forehead. Then he ordered his guards to stop the witch and cut off his head.
Many years later, the time came for this emperor to marry, and his court recommended that it was best to marry the daughter of a very powerful general. He accepted and the day of the wedding arrived. And the moment he saw the face of his wife for the first time, he came into the temple with a beautiful dress and a veil that covered her completely... When he lifted it, he saw that the beautiful face had a very peculiar scar on his forehead. "

A straight red thread to the heart
This legend is so ingrained in the oriental cultures that millions of people have attached a true red thread to them. Although there is no clarity about whether the origin is Chinese or Japanese. It is said that the legend began to know that the ulnar artery connects the little finger (other sources speak of the ring, which has more tradition in our culture) with the heart, source of life and eternally conceived as the home of love ...

Couple surrounded by hearts and united by the legend of the red thread.
A red thread that we can not impose our whims or our ignorance, a red thread that we can not break or fray. A red thread directly to the heart, which connects to the eternal loves, to the deep ones, those that symbolize the before and by which there is not after. The love of a mother, a father, a brother, a child, a friend, a man or a woman ... A red thread that symbolizes love and common interest ...
Everyone who interprets it as they want but what is clear is that, sometimes, coincidences are so strong that they leave no room for doubts ... Twin souls are called, hearts intertwined with one or several eternities to live ...
