“Trouble has come - open the gates” - this is what people usually say about troubles and troubles that happen in a row, one negative event after another. A little strange expression.
“Trouble has come - open the gates” - at first glance, the saying seems absurd: it would seem that if trouble came, you should defend yourself from it, and not “open the gates”. But sayings are not just phrases thrown by someone in passing. The wisdom of more than one generation is in every such utterance. So, not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance.
Internal mood
Psychologists say that a person who is aimed at success is very likely to receive this success. And if someone is constantly subconsciously sure that nothing good will happen in his life? If, having survived another trouble, a person is already waiting for the next? If even in moments of joy and peace he’s sad, because he’s sure that something bad will happen soon and the “bright streak” in his life will end?
Such a pessimist seems to “attract” trouble; they happen regularly. Then both the man himself and his environment resign themselves to the fact that he is a loser. But is not such a gloomy-minded person himself attracting his troubles?
Here we can recall one more saying: "Whoever is afraid of something more strongly will definitely happen to him."
The world is a mirror that returns to a person his own view of reality. If you approach the mirror in a gloomy mood, the same gloomy face will glance back from behind the glass. But if you look at reality with a positive attitude, it will return this positive in the form of good luck and joyful events.
