Lucky Color Gold – Is this your Lucky color? /2

Gold implies money & power and is a lucky color too.

A combination of Gold and Blue is believed to bring financial independence and stability.

Buddhism Gold Tradition

Gold is an important color in Buddhism in Tibet; the statues are made of pure Gold as it symbolizes the sun or fire in Buddhism. The Buddhists never use Gold with any other color. They also make sure that the Gold used in sculptures and paintings is purely 24 karat.

Over the ages, Gold has been a part of the world economy. Until a few centuries ago, Gold was used all over the world, either as coins or simply as gold dust, to complete monetary transactions. Even today in some countries such as China, Gold is used to issue coins commemorating important events, people, or themes.

The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs

Killing The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs is among the best known of Aesop’s Fables and use of the phrase has become idiomatic of an unprofitable action motivated by greed. There are various stories of a goose that lays a golden egg and other versions have a hen laying the golden egg.

Townsend has a hen version of the well-known story about the golden egg: “A cottager and his wife had a Hen that laid a golden egg every day. They supposed that the Hen must contain a great lump of gold in its inside, and in order to get the gold they killed it. Having done so, they found to their surprise that the Hen differed in no respect from their other hens. The foolish pair, thus hoping to become rich all at once, deprived themselves of the gain of which they were assured day by day.”

The stories all illustrate that too much greed is a bad thing.
