Why do people say bless you when you sneeze? Why would you bless someone who is spreading their germs all over? And no don't say it's because your soul is escaping, that's dumb. I'll admit I use to say it before and kinda thought about it and realized it's kinda dumb, is it another way just to seem courteous or start small talk?

This is how they Programm your brain

Program for what?

Cause back in the day people were worried you'd just die if you got sick, so they'd bless you to keep you safe

Yeah I understand back then cause people were stoopid than, but I'm sure people now a days can make enough sense that they aren't going to die and it's just a simple cold or the nose filtering out dust or whatever.

The thing we used to believe

You would bless people too if you lived in a place with plagues.

moments like that are rare. in rare times the gates of heaven open up and we try to sneak in blessings to increase the happiness of all

Generous guys, you know where to find me.

It used to be a superstition that is now a courtesy. It's the same as saying please or thank you. The words mean nothing, but the sentiment does.

Please means "I respect you as a person, and am adding an honorific to my request."This starts the social contract
"
Thank you means "I acknowledge something has been done for me and I am showing my appreciation" and indicates the end point of the social contract

Bless you means "I acknowledge you have made a loud noise due to a sneeze. It happens and I hope it doesn't again."

There's tons of other meaningless etiquette but it makes people feel comfortable and establishes respect among us. Don't be a nigger.

I'm pretty sure it's common because of the bubonic plague and sneezing was a symptom.
