So it’s Friday the 13th….oooooo. I was in a meeting today and made that comment and literally everyone had shivers go down there spine. Why are people so afraid of a day?
The number 13 has long been considered by superstitious Westerners to be unlucky. Even today, many towns and suburbs don’t have 13 as a street number, or 13th Street, and most hotels do not have rooms with 13 on the door. Many tall buildings do not have a 13th storey, with the elevator going straight from Floor 12 to 14.
Well the one thing I know is that almost everyone in the Western hemisphere is afraid of the number 13. If you notice it’s been removed from floor - they jump from 12 to 14, streets are rarely called thirteenth street and some hotels don’t have 13 on the door of suites.
I say we change our frequency on that and embrace the day as a special and lucky day. So Happy Friday the 13th!!
