10.4 million people live in Sweden — that’s just 2 million more than in New York City alone. But this country has just as many surprises as countries with larger populations. Maybe even more.
We at Bright Side love finding out how people in other countries live. And Sweden won over our hearts.

People who have this line on their hand are very special.
Palmistry, practiced in China and India over 5,000 years ago, is a technique that predicts the future by reading the lines on the hand. Among these lines, one is said to bring luck to those who have it.
The Main Lines: The hand has three main lines: the heart line, the head line, and the life line. These lines change over time, reflecting a person’s personality, experiences, and attitudes.
The Life Line: “The life line is a representation of life and its main events.” It starts between the thumb and index finger and runs around the thumb. A long, clear life line indicates stability, while an interrupted one suggests major life events or risks.
The Heart Line: “If it is long, straight, and well-defined…you are going to (or are already living) a beautiful and long love story.” A short heart line may suggest selfishness, while an interrupted one warns of heartbreak or a health issue.
The Head Line: This line reflects mental and intellectual abilities. “Straight…the mind is rather Cartesian,” while a sinuous line suggests intuitive thinking.
The Luck Line (Angel Line): Unlike the others, this rare line starts at the wrist and runs to the middle finger. It’s often tied to professional success and social achievements. “Many believe that people who have this line are very lucky,” as it’s believed to signify a guardian angel watching over them.
