At the end of the rainbow...there lies a pot of gold

Never ending-unstoppable-unabated passionate dreams. It could be a god or religious answer you were expecting I would if I took it literally and was a study of religion, being outside the bubble I must say your question leaves more holes for wacky answers than a slab of Swiss cheese. But at least we get the point ;-) & points! I like it. Thanks for the excercise.

I just responded to a discussion entitled Origin of the Rainbow and verses of the Holy Bible where God made his covenant to Noah were quoted. The rainbow is placed by God there to remind Him that He would no longer destroy His creation through flood as what happened where only 8 persons and those animals in the ark were saved.

There is no Pot of gold at the end of rainbow. I believe that rainbow is a promise sign of God that he will never bring a new Big Flood like noah's time.

You know what when i read ur discussion, first thing that comes to my mind is that she's a filipino .. and i was right, i knew it from the start. haha! ... That's one of our beliefs, right?! when i was a kid, people around me made me believe that but when i grow older that doesn't bother my anymore. . I'm already 32 and u wanna know what i've been doing if i get the chance to see one? .... WISH!! haha. :-}

With every rainbow, you have both rain nd sunshine. I have had so much of both in my life. Finally I met Bruce, had a grandson, we moved... my life has evened out and I have found my pot of gold---contentment.

its a myth taught to us by our elementary teachers and storytellers, when i was young i believe it just like i believe in santa claus. but when my three kids were growing up, i did not tell them about rainbows nor about santa claus

I am from BC,Canada......we have plenty of rainbows but have nothing to do with potof any type.

Relly nothing. It may be perhaps said by one of our ancestors to add importance of existing beauty of Rainbow to the common man. Rain Bow in the sky is seen because of the phenomenon called as refraction, where by the colours of natural light are separated and they are visible to normal eye. This is due to the presence of water Vapour which acts in a similar way li9ke a prism acts when a normal light passes through it. There is no starting or ending part to it as it is circular in shape and we can only have vision of this circle up to the horizon, and this gives an illusion as if the erainbow is originating and ending at horizon. As you know there is no horizon in true sense and it is all imaginary one! Thus for me it is nothing more than a superstition or blind belief like people talk about the Gem stone on the hood of Cobra, which in India we call it as "Nag Mani". Similarly we also say that 'Paras Patthar' a stone does have the power to convert iron into Gold just by touching the iron with it! These things have been incorporated in the brains of people from generartions to generation, but no body have seen them so far! These are like miracles happening in fairy tales, very nice to hear but not possible to occur! Thanks for starting a nice discussion!

Rainbows always signify hope and a bright promise of the future which lift up the man's spirit. Beyond that hope is another much greater hope. They are bright hopes one after another. Rainbows and pots of gold are actually nothing and we all know that, living in a scientific world. It just a symbol of the human spirit not giving up and always see the bright side of life even to hope against hope.

In every problem that you struggle to solve lies a promising prize
