Have you ever stuck in so much depression and how you overcome it? Yeah, since century years ago, there exist dejection and despair unless ancient people seems not having significantly high challenges like today people.Everytime difficulty comes, people immediately seek hope in order to save themselves in time. People of all ages, regardless of disparate regions,separated cultures, distinct perspectives, they always willing to look for prophets or sort of prophetic facts to counterattack their poor fortunes doing significant amount of good deeds. Here has also the same sense. In Japan, fortune boxes can be regularly seen at almost shrines and temples but also in tourists spots these days. It is similar to the ones that Chinese people did asking for their future in their temples. In Japan, its starts since 11 century notifying that it is such a strong believe by Japanese race. To tell your fortune, firstly you must summit 100 to 300 yens into the box after that pick one of the paper rolls to detect your destiny. One notable point is the belief that if you didn't put necessary money, your fortune won't be displayed correctly. There in the photo, you can see there are many papers tied below and it means that if people get unlucky fortune, they usually tie it onto the stick nearby. Therefore, we can conclude that even in the age of progressing science, people still tend to rely on faith rather than well-approved scientific facts. However, we must embrace such kind of belief as this photo points out both humanity and mercy in one place.

What will you do if you are supposed to receive bad fortune related with your relationship?
