The problem of superstition

….The problem behind of the superstitions

We live in a world full of traditions, beliefs, customs, convictions, feelings …etc. As a matter of fact each person has their own point of view of the life and apparently it depends a lot of our own country ...But in some situations in the world there are a lot of strange things and anybody knows the reason, even the science hasn’t found the meaning behind of this things. For this reason the people use to take refuge on the superstitions. The superstitions are in charge of protecting the people from something that harm or could be affect the future. Although the superstition is a belief that is not based on logic or reason, the people find in the superstitions the control in an uncertain world.

The superstitions have basis in our own experiences and psyche are growing and will be more difficult to remove it, but I think that all is in the mind and the superstitions are part of the human ignorance, for example if a person believes that walk under a ladder its meaning of bad luck probably the person would feel bad all the day and thinking about how could affect walk under the ladder in their life. or if someone believes that use yellow underwear in the happy new year give themself good luck and they don’t do it ,probably the person is going to feel bad and without luck all the year ,however they don’t have evidence scientific to prove it. Clearly we call the things if we always have a negative attitude it’s difficult for us to have a nice day or the opposite if we wake up optimistics, probably we are going to feel lucky because I guess that we call everything that we have .

But the problem is that our thoughts could affect our decisions, we can take or not a big decision because our beliefs and we could lose important things and opportunities because our traditions, for this reason is important to differentiate the line between superstition and mistaken beliefs. People want to have control over the events in their lives. They use to believe in many strange ideas to gain an illusory sense of control. I considered that believe in superstitions is not the best way to change our life styles, is better to find the successful with a real facts that are scientifically proven instead of wait that something fantastic happen.
