My personal point about the Praying Hands is that the true meaning of the position of Praying Hands cannot be owned by anyone or any being -ANY BEING.
Praying Hands can be a position for plants, humans and animals to mimic. Most people can only see a positive when there is a child, adult, or even an animal photographed using a Praying Hands mimic position.
Albrecht Durer, a German, painted a picture of praying hands. However, many make all types of claims as to the true meaning of seeing hands held together and raised toward the sky.
Many say that palms together at the heart are demonstrating as a sign of mimicking veneration and respect. It is also a form of mimicking a greeting. Praying Hands should mean to stop and think about showing deserved respect for the being that is positioning the Praying Hands.
If everyone all at once mimicked Praying Hands and valued its positive demonstration just imagine how few negatives would happen in the world of fiction and non-fiction.
There would be so few people who would end up before a court judge. And the mimicking Praying Hands would have real valuable and lasting purpose. Of course today, Praying Hands only has purpose to the beholder. Every beholder doesn’t feel the same about what is seen or even heard.
Today, just as yesterday, and in the future to come, there are just way too many people who refuse to respect life, regardless if the life is a plant, animal, or human being.
Here is the fable about why the painting of praying hands began with Albrecht Durer. One day, to pay homage to Albert, his brother, for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother's abused hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his powerful drawing simply "Hands," but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed his tribute of love "The Praying Hands."
Demonstrating as a sign of veneration, respect, or a tribute to love is a positive. How about simply, a sign of being thankful? Or better yet, a sign of being extremely valuable- the being which is rising its Praying Hands, that is, is at least a thinker.
