Superstitious people believe that there are some situations in our lives that will led us to others in the future. Usually, the causative thing has nothing to do with its supposed consequence. This is because superstitions are based on the beliefs in supernatural coincidences.There are several facts on the world that don’t have an explanation. When we humans can’t explain these facts through science, we invent something which seems to be coherent. In this way, we can understand the strange things that happen in our lives. This is why, throughout history, many people have believed in prophecies, witches, ghosts, spirits, etc.
Nowadays, people are less superstitious than before. However there is still a huge amount of people who believe in superstitions. Believing in them depends on cultures, the countries and the people. In spite of this, there are some beliefs that are commonly known throughout the world. Another thing is that people take them as real or not real.
Obviously, not everything brings bad luck. She told me that she wants to find a four-leaf clover because that would give her good luck and fortune. She has a horseshoe hanging in her bedroom as she thinks that it removes evil spirits and brings good luck too. When she wants something to happen, she crosses her fingers and wishes for it or she knocks on wood to make it real. She thinks that step on shit, wear new clothes on Easter, a lock of a baby’s first haircut or wearing her favourite dress brings her good luck. She also says that if your left palm itches, you will earn a lot of money.
Very interesting! this is a topic to talk about because i think that even the people that say that they don't believe in superstitions they do it at least in an unconsciously way not to tempt fate, as you said. Me, personally i don't believe in superstitions as a magic or fantastic way but for example if i have to do an important activity that day i organise all in an obsessive way and i do the same things everytime because i think that that will help me not to be nervous and to do it better.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I think that superstitions are only old myths and thar real life cant be change with superstitions.

I do believe in superstitions just when I like them...hahaha. I think there are more people like me, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSoumiya-
I am agreed with you. I have never liked to tempt fate. However, I will add that I have two groups in which I classify the different superstitions. There are some of them that I consider totally false because they are very idealistic. The other group is related with your opinion. In it I will include those superstitions that I don´t consider true but neither false.
ReplyDeleteIt is very funny because I also suffer some of this superstitions, such as doing anything important on Friday 13th. I hope one day I won't have any dependencies....
ReplyDeleteI don't think I am supersticious but for example if I have the opportunity to walk under a ladder or not to do it I wouldn't probably do it. We have an exam Friday 13th, I hope it doesn't affect but if it does maybe I'll take more in account these things.
ReplyDeleteAltough we say that not, we all are supersticious, someones more and others less, but i think we all. Who don't do something when they said him that if not he will have bad luck?
ReplyDeleteI believe in some of them. It's funny to have some extrange believes in life. Obviously many of it are not true, but as you said, I don't like to tempt fate too, so I prefer to be careful.
ReplyDeleteI think I believe in them a little bit because sometimes I act in that way. For example: I always use the same pen in exams, I touch wood when I see a black cat...
