Where did what fell go?
Where did what fell go? – this question can be thought about in different ways; as a skeptic, an ordinary man in the street or a philosopher. Based on the above criteria, it is almost impossible to give an absolutely accurate and correct answer. Each person will give many different answers to this question, and all of them will be correct.
Let's consider the meaning of this winged Russian proverb from a philosophical point of view
“What falls from the cart is lost” - this proverb directly from a philosophical point of view means: What is out of our control no longer belongs to us.
Agree that any person who uses this in a conversation common expression, I never thought about what it meant and where this favorite expression originated from. As we already know, any proverbs used in conversation were passed down from mouth to mouth over generations, and their origins date back to the depths of centuries.
If we consider the variation of this proverb in detail, then sooner or later we will come to its original source. It's winged popular expression, has come into use since ancient times feudal Rus'.
Let us remember those distant times, as we know, there was such a law among the princes that, first of all, it read: “Any thing that fell from a merchant’s cart onto the owner’s land now belongs only to the owner of the land.”
Consider the simple example of an overturned cart.
The merchant was carrying a full cartload of sacks of grain for sale, and put barrels of honey on top in order to transport more cargo at one time. By coincidence, a cart overturns on the merchant's land, barrels of honey fly off and fall to the ground. According to the law, everything that was on the land, and not in the cart, now completely belongs to the owner of the land. It’s a pity for the seller of the lost goods, but based on adopted law everything goes to the owner. It is from this law that the following saying arose: “What falls from the cart is lost!”
Let's look at this situation from a philosophical point of view:
1. What falls does not always bring trouble or loss.
2. According to the law of conservation of energy and matter, everything that is lost does not disappear without a trace, and nothing just appears.
3. Not always what has fallen can bring more benefit, there is no need to regret the missing item.
4. According to the law, what is lost always returns, maybe slightly late, to its true owner.
From this we can conclude:
Is it worth it?, too muchregret and be sad about what was lost?
Perhaps, according to the law of conservation of energy, fate gives a certain chance to a person who is looking for his place and business in life. And what fell from you was intended precisely to this person. That’s why you shouldn’t be dejected or regretful. You must always remember that if it fell and disappeared, it means it was intended for another person.

ALL TRIN IS GRASS.
The mysterious "tryn-grass" is not at all some kind of herbal medicine that people drink so as not to worry. At first it was called "tyn-grass", and tyn is a fence. The result was “fence grass,” that is, a weed that no one needed, everyone was indifferent to.

ORPHAN OF KAZAN.
This is what they say about a person who pretends to be unhappy, offended, helpless in order to pity someone. But why is the orphan “Kazan”? It turns out that this phraseological unit arose after the conquest of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible. The Mirzas (Tatar princes), finding themselves subjects of the Russian Tsar, tried to beg all sorts of concessions from him, complaining about their orphanhood and bitter fate.
INSIDE OUT.
Now this seems to be a completely harmless expression. And once it was associated with shameful punishment.

This is the name given to a person who is blamed for someone else. The history of this expression is as follows: the ancient Jews had a rite of absolution. The priest laid both hands on the head of the living goat, thereby, as it were, transferring the sins of the entire people onto it. After this, the goat was driven out into the desert. Many, many years have passed, and the ritual no longer exists, but the expression still lives on.
SHARPEN THE LASKS.
Lyasy (balusters) are turned figured posts of railings at the porch. Only a real master. Probably, at first, “sharpening balusters” meant conducting an elegant, fancy, ornate (like balusters) conversation.

GRATED KALAC.
In the old days there really was such a type of bread - “grated kalach”. The dough for it was crumpled, kneaded, “grated” for a very long time, which is why the kalach turned out to be unusually fluffy. And there was also a proverb - “do not grate, do not crush, there will be no kalach.” That is, trials and tribulations teach a person. The expression comes from this proverb.
NICK DOWN.
If you think about it, the meaning of this expression seems cruel - you must agree, it’s not very pleasant to imagine an ax next to your own nose. In reality, everything is not so sad. In this expression, the word “nose” has nothing to do with the organ of smell. A “nose” was the name given to a memorial plaque or record tag. In the distant past, illiterate people always carried such tablets and sticks with them, with the help of which all kinds of notes or notations were made as memories.

Rusichi - ancient ancestors Russians - among their gods they honored the main god - the god of thunder and lightning Perun.

Prayers were offered to Perun for rain during the drought. It was believed that he should be especially willing to fulfill requests on “his day” - Thursday. And since these prayers often remained in vain, the saying “After the rain on Thursday” began to be applied to everything that is unknown when it will come true.
BREAK A LEG.
This expression arose among hunters and was based on the superstitious idea that with a direct wish (both down and feather), the results of a hunt can be jinxed. In the language of hunters, feather means bird, and down means animals. In ancient times, a hunter going on a hunt received this parting word, the “translation” of which looks something like this: “Let your arrows fly past the target, let the snares and traps you set remain empty, just like the trapping pit!” To which the earner, in order not to jinx it either, replied: “To hell!” And both were sure that evil spirits, invisibly present during this dialogue, will be satisfied and fall behind, and will not plot intrigues during the hunt.
KICK THE BUCKLES.
What are “baklushi”, who “beats” them and when? For a long time, artisans have been making spoons, cups and other utensils from wood. To carve a spoon, it was necessary to chop off a block of wood from a log. Apprentices were entrusted with preparing the bucks: it was an easy, trivial task that did not require any special skill. Preparing such chocks was called “beating the lumps.” From here, from the mockery of the masters at the auxiliary workers - “baklushechnik”, our saying came from.
RUB THE GLASSES.
How can glasses be rubbed in? Where and why? Such a picture would look very ridiculous. And the absurdity occurs because we are not talking about glasses at all, which are used to correct vision. There is another meaning of the word "glasses": red and black marks on playing cards. There is even a gambling card game called “point”. For as long as there have been cards, there have been dishonest players and cheaters. In order to deceive their partner, they resorted to all sorts of tricks. By the way, they knew how to quietly “rub in points” - turn a seven into a six or a four into a five, on the go, during the game, by gluing in a “point” or covering it with a special white powder. And the expression “to cheat” began to mean “to deceive”, hence other words were born: “deception”, “deception” - a trickster who knows how to embellish his work, pass off the bad as very good.
THEY CARRY WATER ON THE ANGRY (OFFENDED).
This proverb can be said to a person who is angry and angry unnecessarily. The roots of the saying come from the ancient colloquial speech. Then the word “angry” meant diligent, zealous, diligent.

The peasants, although they were considered free (free), did not have the right to pass from one owner to another during the year: custom required that they leave only after all field work had been completed, at the beginning of winter, when all the grain had already been harvested. In the middle of the 15th century, peasants were allowed to move from one owner to another once a year - a week before St. George's Day and a week after it (St. George's Day, that is, the day of St. George, in Russian Yuri, the patron saint of farmers, was celebrated November 26, old style, chronology). At the end of the 16th century, the crossing of peasants was prohibited on St. George’s Day. Thus, the peasants were attached to the land and had to remain with their landowner for life.
