The middle finger..
Since I was a kid, my parent always forbade me from pointing my middle finger at others. They taught me that it is a rude thing to do. As I grew up, I saw most of my friends would point their middle finger to someone that they hate. Sometimes it goes simultaneously with the word ‘FUCK (just read it, don’t say it). Many believe it started from western people. Not to blame them but what amaze me is the impact on society. It’s like a virus spreading from nation to nation. The virus will cause the person to hide their middle finger from pointing outward. Deadly isn’t? It’s a language that’s more famous than English. Since then, the sign has become an iconic symbol throughout the world. Until today, it makes me wonder why. What does it means? Why does society regard that it is a rude action? There must be a history behind this symbolic sign. By the way, it’s just a finger you know. What’s so great about that ? (Can you please give your opinion by leaving some comments).
If you do it in Germany you could be fined.
