Humorous stories for children are short. Funny funny stories for children

There is a lot of debate about indoor flowers. Some argue that they should be brought into the house. Next to plants you breathe easier, sleep better, feel more alive and better. The thing is that flowers secrete phytoncides - special volatile substances. That is why after a walk in the forest or park, your appetite increases, your mood improves, and fatigue disappears.

Others say that some flowers can be harmful. And the point is not only in allergies to odorous substances released by flowers, but also in the energy potential of plants. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the miniature violet. The beautifully flowering plant has taken its rightful place on the window sills of flower growers. But there are people who deliberately do not grow these flowers. They are pleasant, but they can cause harm. Why can't you keep violets at home? Who will these beauties harm?

Analysis will take

Why can't you grow violets at home? From a biological point of view, this question is meaningless. Violets

• do not provoke allergies;
• do not emit toxic substances;
• They do not have serious thorns that could accidentally injure you.

They are absolutely safe.

The prejudiced attitude towards simple beauties is explained only by superstitions and unconfirmed results of energy analysis.

1. According to an old saying, violets make you sad.

Try telling that to lovers of furry miniatures. The varied flowering of indoor plants evokes only joy and pride, but not a sad mood.

2. Another legend says that violets used to be planted near graves. Flowers neutralized all negativity and helped the souls of the departed to calm down. Therefore, bringing violets into the house is bad form. It's like filling your home with grave fear.

Maybe someone once planted violets in a cemetery. That this was a tradition is not confirmed anywhere. One thing that confuses this legend is that flowers neutralize negative energy. Then why is it not recommended to keep them in the house?! They will only help, they will normalize the energy background.

3. Violet - plant female. A lot of violets - a lot of feminine energy. This is dangerous for both single women and single men. A man in a violet house will feel depressed, and a woman in a violet house will feel superfluous.

But how much happy families engaged in breeding violets! There can be only one danger here: the housewife became overly carried away with her indoor flowers and forgot about her husband.

Violets not only scold, but also praise. Other legends and energy analyzes say that the plant is a symbol of the family hearth and brings good luck and prosperity. Therefore, everyone makes their own decision about whether to grow violets or not.

Flowers for happiness and unhappiness

The following plants are believed to bring happiness to the home:

Myrtle. It is a symbol of family and happy marriage. The myrtle tree suppresses envy, aggression, anger, and fear. Therefore, there are fewer quarrels and conflicts in the house.

Dracaena Sandera. An original exotic plant attracts money and good luck to the house. It’s time to think about why the leaves on dracaena turn yellow. Perhaps there is a strong energy vampire nearby, taking away the family’s well-being.

Ficus. It is recommended to buy it for women who want to become a mother. Ficus also neutralizes aggression and negative emotions. But placing a tub with a plant in the bedroom is contraindicated.

Rose . The queen of flowers, like violets, is also a subject of much debate. Some people believe that roses fill the house positive energy, develops intelligence. Others believe that indoor beauties, on the contrary, take energy from a person. By the way, roses do not tolerate the proximity of other plants. If you are going to reign, then reign undividedly.

Flowers that can be dangerous:

Monstera. She is considered an energy vampire who brings misfortune to the house. Therefore it is recommended to keep beautiful plant in the office.

Cyclamen. Rather, it takes away not energy, but health. Indoor plant may cause allergies. And if there is also a disease that explains why cyclamen turns yellow, then the reaction will intensify. Ferns, pelargonium, geranium, and hydrangea are also contraindicated for allergy sufferers.

Dieffenbachia. Produces very poisonous juice. Even if it gets on the skin in small quantities, it causes a burn. If there are small children and animals in the house, it is better not to grow Dieffenbachia.

Tradescantia, ivy and liana are considered indicators of energy well-being. If the plants suddenly begin to turn yellow, it means something is wrong in the home.

This crowned Queen of flowers, accustomed to proudly flaunting her majestic beauty, the modest violet prefers to stay in the shade. It is not surprising, therefore, that our shy heroine is a recognized symbol of modesty and beauty. The violet is an emblem of hidden virtues, partially revealed in one color or another: a white flower adds innocence to the main symbolism, red - love and kindness, blue - fidelity and constancy. But that is not all. Since ancient times, the beautiful, virtuous violet has symbolized spring, the awakening of nature and...death. How did such incompatible meanings come together? Only ancient Greek myths can answer this question. More than enough has been said about the origin of the violet in mythology. According to one version, lovely flowers grew from drops of the blood of the distraught and beautiful young man Attis, who committed suicide; according to another, they blossomed from the grateful tears of Adam, who, through the Archangel Gabriel, received the long-awaited news of the forgiveness of the very first sin in human history. The third motive presents as the root cause a certain beauty who finds salvation from persecution in reincarnation. According to the Greek version, Zeus turned one of the daughters of Atlas, who was fleeing the burning caresses of the sun god Apollo, into a violet; According to the ideas of the Baltic Slavs, the beautiful daughter of Chernobog, overthrown by Christianity, turned out to be a violet that blooms once every hundred years. This wonderful violet is a symbol of an ideal marriage, because for those who are lucky enough to find it and pick it, legend promises the most beautiful and richest woman in the world as a wife.
The roots of the paradoxical symbolism of death and the flowering of nature lie in ancient myth about the abduction of Persephone (Proserpina). Young Persephone was carefree picking flowers in the meadow when the black chariot of the gloomy Hades flew at her like a whirlwind. The kidnapper whisked off the frightened girl into the ghostly Kingdom of the Dead, and the bouquet of violets she collected remained lying on the ground as a sign of the death of Persephone and the grief of her mother, Demeter. This grief was so great that the earth completely stopped bearing fruit, and Zeus himself had to intervene in the matter. The Lord of Olympus ordered his brother to let Persephone go to his mother every year, and Hades had to obey. When the resurrected daughter emerged from the underworld towards the sun, Mother Nature rejoiced and dressed in a green spring outfit, but the first to greet the captive were the violets that bloomed upon her appearance. That is why for the Greeks, violets signified both death and the awakening of life. As for Hades, he had something to console himself with: although the husband was deprived of the company of his beloved wife for a long time, no one forced his son-in-law to receive or visit his “beloved” mother-in-law. In the religion of ancient peoples, the symbolism of death, inspired by the popular myth of Persephone, found real embodiment in the funeral cult: the Greeks strewed the deathbeds of untimely dead innocent girls with violets, and the Romans decorated the graves of their relatives with these flowers on Memorial Day. The cheerful barbarians did not share the views of the Greeks and Romans: for them, the violet was a joyful emblem of spring, a symbol of beauty, innocence and modesty of brides, so lovely flowers decorated the outfit of the newlyweds and cheerful spring festivities. The Slavs believed in the healing properties of the humble flower, in its ability to drive away the spirits of illness. Even the practical Romans used violet as effective remedy for hangovers - during heavy libations, they plucked their violet wreaths, adding flower petals to the wine.
In Christianity, the violet personified the main virtue of a believer - humility. The church fathers sometimes called the Virgin Mary “the gentle violet.” As a symbol of humility, the violet is often present in iconography, in scenes where the Virgin Mary is depicted with the Child Christ in her arms.
Christian iconography also reflected the ancient motif of the death of an innocent girl. Thus, in the scene of the death of the holy girl Fina, white violets grow from her bed.
Special meaning In Christianity, the tricolor violet is endowed - a symbol of the Holy Trinity. The painfully heated religious imagination saw in the dark triangular spot in the center of the violet the “All-Seeing Eye of God,” surrounded by a golden radiance emanating from it, and in the three sides of the triangle it unmistakably guessed the three hypostases of God.
In secular emblems, the blooming violet symbolized beauty in humility. The Renaissance emblem of the violet growing under the shade of a cypress tree had a richer content - an allegory modest man who does good in obscurity, preferring not to flaunt his virtues and good deeds.
The modest flower was chosen by Louis XVI, Josephine and Napoleon as their emblem; Emperor Wilhelm and actress Sarah Bernhardt; writer I. Turgenev and poet F., Tyutchev. Passionate fan The great Goethe was a violet. German gardeners, glorifying Goethe's talent, named the varieties of violets they bred after the names of his characters immortal work: they called the dark, almost black flowers “Doctor Faustus”, the blood-red ones “Mephistopheles”, and the pale blue ones “Margarita”. However, the violet became the emblem of poets back in 1323 at the Flower Games in Toulouse, when the winners of the poetry tournament were awarded a gilded silver violet.
The violet symbolizes shyness because it grows in the shade of more tall plants. In the language of flowers, the white violet symbolizes innocence; there is a belief that it grows on the graves of virgins; blue violet signifies love. In a sonnet dedicated to blue color, Kite calls this flower the queen of stealth. IN Christian art it symbolizes humility; Saint Bernard calls the Virgin Mary "the violet of humility."
The violet is a small flower with a strong scent, which, according to popular belief, “teaches modesty” because, despite its smallness, it is a favorite symbol of spring. If you follow Greek myth, in the meadow from which Hades, the god of the underworld, kidnapped Persephone, crocuses (saffron), roses, hyacinths, and violets grew. The Romans decorated their graves with these flowers on the day of remembrance of the dead. Violet wreaths were worn at dinner parties, as these flowers were supposed to have a “cooling effect.” They were also credited with the ability to alleviate hangover headaches. Antique folk belief advises swallowing the first three violets found at the edge of the forest as a remedy to protect against disease. Hochberg (1675) composed a poetic allegory:

"The March violet was lost in the gravel.
But her lovely scent spreads far and wide.
Godliness sometimes lies hidden in a corner
And he retains his honor for the time being."

The blue color of flowers, which was associated with fidelity and constancy, made them a valuable gift
love. In the Middle Ages, the appearance of the first violet was the occasion for cheerful spring holidays and open-air dancing.
