Phobia to number 13.

Triskaidekaphobia.

Are you of the people who have triskaidekaphobia? that is, phobia number 13, but you knew that the origin of this fear is not very clear, although the superstitions, books, and movies of Friday the 13th have helped a lot in the increase to this phobia, the researchers do not have a concrete answer.

The word triskaidekaphobia comes from the Greek and is a word composed of three terms: 'treis', 'kai' and 'deka', which means, respectively, 'three' 'and' 'ten', together with phobos 'phobia', which it means fear.

This fear is so ingrained that in most buildings they skip the number 13, they also skip row 13, among others.

There are different versions regarding the 13 among which:

That there were thirteen people who sat at the Last Supper.

In the 13th chapter of the Apocalypse, the antichrist is mentioned.

In the Middle Ages on Friday, October 13, 1307, Philip IV, gave the order to pursue "The Knights Templar" throughout France for the "Holy Inquisition" and were arrested and burned at the stake.

In Nordic mythology, it is mentioned that, during a dinner in Valhalla, the skies of the Nordics, were the twelve gods at the table when a 13th person who had not been invited arrived: Loki. He managed to dupe Höðr, blind brother of Balder, Odin's second son so that he would throw a dart at his brother, whom he managed to kill.

In the Tarot, letter number 13 is that of death.

Even days of bad luck or bad omen are considered as Fridays 13 and Tuesday 13.

On the other hand, for the Kabbalah, the meaning of this number is the opposite because the 13th and what it symbolizes is the very purpose of the creation. There are three Hebrew words that have the numerical value 13, EJAD (One or Unit), AHAVA (Love) and DAAGA (Caring), and the true purpose of creation is to restore the initial Unity among all the pieces of the Vessel (beings humans) and the Unity between the Vessel and the Light (We and the Creator) and the only way to achieve it is through Love and Care.

I do not know about you but in my opinion, I think it would be better to love the meaning of Kabbalah.

Political fanaticism.

Political fanaticism. In recent years, a very latent phenomenon that has been growing dangerously and vertiginously, in a context of high polarization; this distorter is presented as an enemy of electoral conscience and a healthy and mature democracy, it is political fanaticism. But let's start by defining fanaticism: According to the definition of the Royal Spanish Academy : it is an “excessive passion and tenacity in the defense of beliefs or opinions, especially religious or political ones”. For Voltaire: “Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, what rage is to anger. He who has ecstasies, visions, who takes dreams for realities and his imaginations for prophecies is a novice fanatic with great hopes; he may soon get to kill for God's sake." Therefore, fanaticism is identified by the desire to impose their ideas, despise those who are different, be based on a series of thoughts that ar...
