Maybe, it is why they said that all finger’s are not equal. Do you hear something like that before?
I've read about the issue of different fingers on a hand in various places. Some use it as a metaphor that all people, no matter how different, are necessary for a community. In other cases, I've read it as an indication of the necessary family unity, because no matter how different they are from each other, when fighting or working, they only function when everyone flexes and works together.
Anyway, there are many other examples, but I don't remember them all.
I think the examples you got here are all related, and meaningful. Cheers.
But what about it to the dresses of the man and woman, isn’t it somehow an answer to it?
I think so.
I had never given much thought to pockets! Or buttons!
There are many things that are so commonplace and normal these days (we take them for granted), but they have a fascinating history behind them.
I remember there were once a series of documentaries about these things, among which I remember some produced by National Geographic (if I recall correctly). And I think they aired a couple of years ago.
Currently, I haven't seen if these types of documentary series are still airing, but I guess I haven't looked them up properly. They're interesting and provide entertaining historical insight. Sometimes they even have quite a few curious or funny details, although that depends on the style and handling of the production company.
