[Alexandr Korol]

1. 7 musical notes of the scale:
Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si — the foundation of musical structure, analogous to the seven days of the week and the seven colors of the rainbow.

2. 7 wonders of the world:
Seven architectural and engineering achievements of the ancient world, each unique and symbolizing eternal beauty and the greatness of the human spirit.

3. 7 deadly sins:
Envy, wrath, sloth, pride, greed, gluttony, lust. These sins prompt reflection on our ethical side, similar to how the days of the week encourage contemplation of our behavior.

4. 7 continents:
Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Australia — the division of the Earth into parts, just as the days divide time into parts of the week.

5. 7 chakras in yoga:
Energy centers in the human body, each with its meaning and role in spiritual and physical harmony.

6. 7 stages of human life according to Shakespeare:
In his work “As You Like It,” Shakespeare describes seven ages of man, from infancy to old age.

Each of these analogies represents a different perception and significance of the number seven, emphasizing its uniqueness and importance in various areas of life and worldview.
