Symbolism

I have mentioned a symbol already, the sun. What is interesting is, there exists symbols that can be found all over the world, meaning the same or something similar, and even looking alike. There are probably more, but my example is the Swastika.

Now, some of you may say that is the symbol of the Nazis, from the times of the NS. What they did was terrible, but if anyone says they created the symbol: It is not. They used it and defiled it, but it is one of the oldest symbols of the world. Generally, it refers to the sun, but it can also be translated as everything positive. And the interesting part is it can be found anywhere, from Europe, to Asia, to Australia.

This mainly shows that, no matter where we come from, our minds think alike, and that symbolism is part of our thinking, no matter how we were raised.

If you think about it, letters are symbols. An example might be runes, which also have several meaning. Or, the Asian languages, like Chinese; they are pictures themselves.
