The Ancient Legends
The Ancient Chinese say that objects absorb the energy around them. A jacket worn by a grumpy old man may leave that energy in the clothing, so the next person wearing it begins to feel grumpy and irritable.
A happy person wearing a ring may pass on the happiness onto the next wearer.
