Many have the experience of offering love in public while kneeling. Do you know the story behind sitting in this posture?
Extending to a loved one with a rose or a ring in his right hand and his left knee bent, eagerly awaiting his partner’s answer হোক whether movie or real, the image of a love proposal is the same everywhere. But times have changed. The style of expressing love or the manner of proposing marriage has changed a bit. What many may not know is that the practice of kneeling and offering love is a part of Western culture. Behind this is the ancient history. In the Middle Ages, the emphasis was on courtesy. In many religious ceremonies it was customary to sit on one’s knees. This ritual was popular, sometimes in submission or sometimes in showing respect. One of the duties of warriors in the Middle Ages was to show respect. They used to kneel in front of their wives and aristocratic women in this way and express their respect and love. This posture expresses the promise of maintaining the faith of the people who love for life by kneeling.
But have you ever wondered why love is always offered on the left knee? There are different opinions about this. However, a recent study has come up with a reasonable reason for this. Research shows that most people are right-handed. In the case of a person who has more active and relaxed feet, his opposite side becomes active during any work. Roses or any other special gift is held in the right hand when expressing love. As a result, the left leg is bent while trying to balance with the hand.
This does not mean that everyone offers love while sitting on their left knee. If you want, you can sit on your right knee in front of your loved one and tell him about your love. In that case giving a gift in your left hand will be much more comfortable than giving a gift in your right hand.
