Trust me once you start researching about things, you may one day discover that your whole life is a lie.

So, here are 5 things that I always thought were true. But, with time I discovered they are not. Maybe you could relate to a few of them. Do tell me in the comments if you did relate to any of them.a

1. Humans come from monkeys

Well, we think that Charles Darwin said that humans come from monkeys. But, the reality is that he never said it directly. In his work “On the origin of species” he stated that monkeys, apes, and humans must have a common ancestor because of our great similarities compared to other species.

2. We have only five senses.

Well, some scientists insist that we have at least 21 senses including balance, pain, and temperature.

3. If you eat your nails a tree will grow inside your stomach.

I think most have us have heard this lie by our parents a million times during our childhood whenever we used to chew our nails, so that we stop our bad habit of eating nails.

4. Complan increases height.

No, No, No it doesn’t. But you can still drink it if plain milk sounds boring to you.

5. Bulls hate red.

Hmmm, ever ran away from a Bull because you were wearing red? Well, I did many times. But, Bulls are actually color blind. It’s not the color red. They actually perceive the motions of bullfighters cloth as a threat.

Well, those were the 5 lies that I grew up believing are true. I hope you could relate to some of them. Also, if there are any more lies that you always thought are true until now, do share them with me.

Bye, bye till the next time. Stay safe, stay happy, and stay positive.

So, without further ado let’s find some benefits about the money plant:

1. The sap of Money plant is extremely poisonous. So, please be extremely careful while placing the plant and also keep it away from your pets and kids so that they don’t gulp it.

2. Many people roast the seeds of the Money plant and have it as a healthy snack. Also, the flowers(if you were thinking that money plant only has leaves then you were wrong, Money plant have a white and creamy flower with a strong fragrance.) and leaves of Money plant are used as vegetables.

3. It can remove toxins and harmful elements from the air, thus purifying it. So, if you have a Money plant in your house you will receive an increased supply of oxygen.

4. It helps reduce anxiety and sleep disorders. So, if you have any of these problems keep a money plant in your bedroom or living room.

5. Now, the last fact that I think every one of you might be familiar with is that it is supposed to increase the wealth if kept indoors. But, one of the most bizarre facts about Money plant is that to get it’s most benefit it must be stolen from someone else’s garden.

So, finally he decided that he should take help from his sister Holika, whi had a boon from Lord Brahma that she wouldn’t be burnt in a fire.

Holika had a shawl which would protect her from fire. So the demon king asked her to take Prahalad on her lap and sit on the fire.
