Superstition

Every cultures, races and religion has their own beliefs. i also believe that everyone is superstitious about one thing or another.in my opinion, superstition is some kind of false faith and belief that are unexplained and cannot be proven scientifically. in addition, superstition also originated from the communities in the past where the knowledges and communications amongst the people is limited. that is why we always heard acts of superstition from our ancestors. it is something that are being passed from generation to generation. the question is what is the real purpose of superstition nowadays??

In this globalization era, of course we will consider superstitions as something nonsense or obsolete. but still, superstition still exists. actually, the real purpose of superstition is to warn or to remind someone based on ignorance or to prevent them from doing something. it is like reminders or some kind of method to teach, especially the children. old folks and our parents usually use superstition to educate their children. for example, "do not sleep during dust, or you will become poor". the reason is maybe for the parents, they did not want their children to sleep during this time because the children has to perform prayers for the Muslim.

however, superstition also has its own advantages and disadvantages. one of the advantage are it is the best and easiest way to teach naughty children. the disadvantage is it may encourage the children to be a short-thinker in the future. besides that, it will also affect the communities by producing people who afraid to take any risks.

hurmm, but try to think. sometime, the superstitions told by our parents or elders really happened! is it just a coincidence?or it is true? do not let yourself clouded by mystery.....

this is some of superstition that i have taken from internet:

-dracula afraid to garlics

-Friday the thirteenth is an unlucky day

-At the end of a rainbow is a pot of gold

-A cat has nine lives

-It is unlucky to rock an empty rocking chair
