Example: seserorang want to cross the street, but not through the crossing stairs because they consider crossing through crossing the old staircase and tired. So that one would prefer to cross directly on the street, whereas the risk is someone could get hit by passing vehicles fast.

8.    7 Months
• In Indonesia, this event was a custom of the tribe of Java. However, this time not only ethnic Javanese who carry it out. But already spread throughout Indonesia. It is a form of gratitude. 7 months of pregnancy congratulations performed as a form of gratitude for the people who have been given a descent by the Creator. When measured from the day of birth, the mother is only waiting for 2 months for delivery. And to get to 7 months, the mother usually been through a process that could be considered sweet and bitter.

Tahlilan also have some goals that are not only perceived benefits for families who carry out alone, but can also be felt by the invitation to attend. namely: Entertain the family of the late / deceased. Reducing the burden of the family of the late / deceased. Inviting deceased relatives / deceased to always be patient over the disaster it has faced. In addition to connect and tighten the relationship between the invitation to the family of the late / deceased. Also Apologizing for the mistake I have ever done by the late / deceased during his lifetime to the invitation. Also As a means of settlement of the rights and obligations of the late / deceased towards people who are still alive.
• Negative: The origin of this tradition actually comes from the Hindu-Buddhist culture modified by ideas on Songo guardian, spreaders of Islam in Java. Initially there is no tradition tahlilan, because old people still believe in the spirits and the supernatural. Seeing this fact, in addition to spread message of Islam, the trustees Songo also determined to change their habits very thick shades tahayyul will then be directed to the Islamic custom patterned and realistic. For that, they preach through artistic and cultural paths that is favored by people with little modify and remove elements at odds with Islam. so, this is not a negative culture tahlilan provided it is done based on Islamic Shari'a.
