Once upon a time...

" A three little twigs realized that is enough of their silence and they decided to sing. 

The first twig said: "What to sing? I do not know so many songs."

The second one said: "I heard some song when one girl by the lake sang, but I forget how it started."

Lastly the third one said: "Let we sing about the lake, snow, us and

The beauty all around us." 

Three little twigs began to sing and the whole nature started to move, the snow happily started to fall, the lake smiled at the sky and people around them felt as if they had never seen a nicer place before..."

Once upon a time, Es war einmal, Jednom davno...

No matter which language we speak, we all know how fairy tales start and which feeling to us this sentence works. They remind us of childhood, when we were protected, dreaming about our happy future. 

But fairy tales are not only stories for fun, from a childhood they teach us about many attributes. For example, to do, not believe to the stranger (Snow White), to not forget to invite all people on the party (Sleeping beauty), heart and soul are more important than look (Beauty and the beast) and much more. 

Depending which fairy tale parents read us that attributes we will easily accept.

"If you don’t know the trees you may be lost in the forest, but if you don’t know the stories you may be lost in life. — Siberian Elder .”

When we are older we can compare ourselves with fairy tale characters. Fairy stories are different, but one thing is the same for all. Ending. They are all happy, the good concerned the evil and that is what people need to believe. People need hope, in this crazy world when bad days are more than good people need hope that they will have a happy ending. While fairy tales certainly are not completely responsible for this, they certainly are an inspiration.

What we actually need is chance to daydream. A chance to dare to consider that there is our own happy ending somewhere out there waiting to occur. A chance to discover that we nevertheless experience good in ourselves and that good things can happen to us. A chance to consider ourselves as the characters in the fairy tale, and to recognize that we are the hero of our own life's story.

Fairy tales give us these opportunities, which is why they are important.
Fairy tales remind us to dream, and to aspire to success because everyone deserves their own happy ending

SUPERSTITION, PROPHETS AND FORTUNE TELLERS - ARE YOU SUPERSTITIOUS?

How many times you started your day with reading horoscope? Did you ever decide to do not go from the house after you saw a black cat?

Every person is superstitious, some more, some less. Some people think that passing below a ladder can bring bad luck, others consider that four leaved clovers can bring them a good luck while a third group believe that breaking a mirror can bring 7 years of misery. I, for example, do not like to speak about plans, believing that if I tell them they will not come true.

SUPERSTITION AMONG THE SERBS

Serbian people are pretty much superstitious, for example, if we speak about something good, we will knock on wood or if we speak about something bad we will move from a place where we sit or stand. 

The greatest piece of superstitious is connected, considerably you can guess, with marriage. 

You will not marry if you sit on the end of the table or if you do not require to catch the bride's bouquet. If you have the luck to find a husband, which will never happen if you pass while some women clean with groom in front of her house, then better not sing by the table because your hubby will go mad.

When the child is born you must pronounce that the baby is ugly because if you say the baby is pretty than the baby will not have luck.

One of the most careful things which every Serbian will be scared is "a draught".  In Serbia the most usual  saying when somebody has pain in physical structure is” draught kills me”. It is unbelievable how every illness is bound in with this phenomenon which is nothing more than air flow. 

If you sit next to an open window your neck will be stiff, if you go out with wet hair you can get brain inflammation. 

Women who exposed stomach to cold air can get a child.

Shortly everything is good until you sit on draught. That obsession with draught I will never understand

PROPHETS AND FORTUNE TELLERS

In the nation where every natural event is distinguished as a "God's will", prophets and fortune tellers found their oasis.

Someone would ask, how in 21 St century people still believe in crystal bowl and tarot cards, but let us think, if people think that someone can talk with death, there is also very large percentage of people who consider that nine cards will tell them a future. 

It is very easy to seduce people who are superstitious.

Of course, properties and fortune tellers are keeping up with the times so they changed crystal bowls and cards with tablets and iPhone. "The magic" is the same like before five hundred years ago, you ask questions and soon got answer that everything will be good just put red cotton around your arm, throw holy water on your evil neighbor, or cast a flower under the pillow and so on, and then on, and yes, you must pay for this a pretty good sum of money. In front of fake fortune tellers lines are so big, that for some of them people wait a week to schedule a date. 

It is obvious that the obscure area of  human knowledge is a pure exemplar of the manipulation. Every effort to turn away credulous people is mission impossible.  

At the time where every "why" has its "because", where humans take on amazing discoveries, people still like a thousand years before have a fear of the unknown.

END OF SUPERSTITIOUS CHAPTER

The whole my life people tell me that I will never marry because I sit on the border of the table, pigeons pooped on me so many times that I should be the luckiest person on the globe, and I broke the mirror so many times that I should suffer the misery till end of my life.

One is for sure, we choose what we will conceive and how big power we will contribute to those believing.

If we constantly lie ourselves seeking guilt in the others for the things which happens to us, if we obtain repose in the fact that somebody will tell us that soon everything will be right, then we deserve at least one of 2000 magicians which works in Serbia.

Are you a superstitious?

STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN - WHEN LOVE BECOMES HELL

Each love starts as big, wonderful, for women especially, they are more romantic, so when they found the love they discover him as a love evermore. By the time first impression start to fade, a prince from fantasy starts to be a human being, with all mistakes as the rest and sometimes even more.

Bullies do not set out to be suddenly like that, they begin first with small jealous incidents. At the beginning of the relationship, it can be even cute, but by the time the jealousy becomes bigger. 

Violence against the women do not need to be only physical, psychical torture can be also painful. Usually, we ask ourselves why some women accept and tolerate violence. The reason that these women accept torture by the fact that they are usually dependent of these men is that they strongly believe that they will change.

After every insult or hit in the weak woman's body, they blame their victims for that, they put the blame on the victim, slowly ruin her self-confidence. For a while bullies will be even nicer to their victims, they will promise that this was the last time. By the time, bullies will separate their victims from their friends, families so even when victims start to think about leaving them as they will think that the world outside is worse than their own. Women with lost self-confidence, who do not trust in herself at all, will never leave their abuser.

Women must understand when a man one time hit or bad insult her, he will do that again. There is no sitting and crying, this kind of man must be left with no turning back. 

Each of these bullies will say that he cannot live without his woman, but the only reason why is that true is that the abuser need to blame somebody for their failure as a man and to feel powerful on the other side.

Violence against women exist from beginning of our time, do not torture your woman, the real man does not do that, the real man respects and love his woman. If any of you know some woman who suffers violence in this moment, do not turn your head, help her to leave and save her life. Do not let yourself become the victim, there is so many nice, gentlemen in this world and we have only one life.

In last five years, 150 women was killed in Serbia, in first two months this year 5 women was killed in the family violence. Stop violence against women.
