CP 3057 1 Primitive Beliefs We Still Hold On To Even Up To This DayIn every century in any country, beliefs are developed as societies develop its history. History, here acts as one society’s collective memory. Some of these beliefs are blatantly serious, even bloody, that it has been welded in the minds of people as not only customary but also necessary to the survival of mankind. Among the beliefs belonging to this classification are beliefs about familial relationships, work ethics, law and punishment, religion, and the preservation of tradition.

 

But there are also beliefs that, although the roots of it are traceable to serious beliefs, are so wacky one would abandon beliefs belonging to the other classification. Among them are beliefs in conducting weddings. In one country in Asia, there’s this belief that before one wed, he or she has to crack whole peppercorns by kneeling on it or by pounding it using the knees and the elbows. People say that this symbolizes the would-be separation of the groom and the bride from their parents and also assuming to their task of being parents also in the near future. This belief is so outrageous that when taken seriously and practiced it wouldn’t be impossible if the wedding gets postponed!

 

Another ridiculous belief is from Latin America. This endorses bridesmaids to chew Salty Fries while wedding vows are being held. There isn’t any explanation behind the custom that would make sense!

 

But, at the beginning of the consumer age, another custom has replaced these beliefs. Compared from before when one has to practice what one believes in, today, dedication on one’s belief are more importantly showcased. From cracking pepper to chewing salty fries, today cracked pepper cufflinks and Salty Fries Cufflinks were designed to uphold faith on those beliefs. There are also a bunch of wedding cufflinks that holds dear primitive beliefs from societies of every region in the world.
