Boyz will be Boyz part 5

So it's been a while since we had anything really broken. On Father's Day weekend we got a new story thanks to Dallin and his daddy throwing a baseball out in the cul de sac. Now if you are superstitious then you know Dallin has seven years of bad luck ahead of him. However I bet you didn't know how that superstition came about...

Did you know...

The origin of the "break a mirror, face seven years of bad luck" superstition can be traced back to the Romans, who were the first to create glass mirrors. Just because your culture invents something useful doesn't mean you can't still have some irrational beliefs about it. The Romans, along with the Greek, Chinese, African and Indian cultures, believed that a mirror had the power to Confiscate part of the user's soul. If the user's reflected image became distorted in any way, this could mean a corruption of his or her soul.

To make it ever worst, the user should break a mirror it would mean his or her soul would be trapped inside the world the mirror represented. A broken mirror created a broken soul, which lead to the broken health of the unfortunate user. The Romans also believed that a person's physical body renewed itself every seven years, so under that condition it would take seven years before the user's soul would be fully restored.
