Rings, Fingers and Alter Egos...!

Ever wondered why you should wear your wedding ring on only the fourth finger of your hand? This is a beautiful and convincing explanation. Some say its a Chinese Legend. I don't know for sure.
OK. First, know what your fingers represent...

• Thumb represents your Parents

• Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings

• Middle finger represents yourself

• Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner

• Last (Little) finger represents your children

OK. Now lets get on with the small test. First, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back(You can never ever separate yourself from yourself :-)...). Then open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip, as shown below.

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)…, and you can, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Now please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)…., and again you can open them, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)…., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your Alter Ego...). You will be surprised to see that, try however hard you may, you just can't do it, because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin. Thats your Alter Ego, A part of yourself...
You may try for yourself if you don't believe...Isn't this a lovely theory...!
