Summary/Abstract: A legend as the cultural message helps to reach the knowledge about elementary experiences, shaped by random events. W. Schmidkunz reveals the idea of reinterpreting the opposites of fate in the collection of The Child Jesus in the Legends. The initial assumption of reinterpretation of opposites is a quite large existential coherence of fate with an unit imperfection and individual poverty. According to the text of the legends, you must accept his fate. The legends confirm that bad luck can be concocted by neglect. However, the beauty is soothing. Its apogee is the dream of death. The beauty is also widely available in the nature and in the privileged moments and circumstances of life. The reinterpretation in the light of experience recalls the basic truth about being an architect of his own destiny. The legends recall that in the face of mysterious quirks of fate, temporary changes can be possible or, at least, can be suspended what is characteristics and own. The basic rule of interpretation of man's destiny is a long way with much suffering and little joy. A wander is the man’s destiny. This wandering is sometimes as an escape from the truth, and a refuge from a persecution. It also becomes a coming back to a friendly environment, home, and, above all, a back of a man to himself. This is done in a constant confrontation with the fate which is often hostile. The inevitability of fate, and, therefore, its blindness, may be, however, the subject of reinterpretation. The basis for such a claim is a childlike nature of human confidence.
