SUPERSTITIONS
I read an
article about superstition because I don’t believe it and I consider that only
you are responsible for the things that happen to you .However some people
believe in superstitions an they are expected to happen something, for example,
many people regard
Friday as an unlucky day as a bad day to commence a journey, to marry, to make
any investment. The only reason given is that Friday is an unlucky day. In
addition I agree with The philosophers at that time ridiculed any belief
in miracles, revelation, magic, or the supernatural, as
"superstition," and typically included as well much of Christian
doctrine and they said that Superstition is a belief in supernatural causality: that one event leads to the cause
of another without any process in the physical world linking the two events.
Also the word is often used pejoratively to refer to practices (e.g., Voodoo) other than the one prevailing in a
given society (e.g., Christianity in western culture), although the prevailing
religion may contain just as many supernatural beliefs. It is also commonly
applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, prophecy and spiritual beings, particularly the belief that
future events can be foretold by specific unrelated prior events.
