I've been meaning to start a thread on this. Sorry, but I didn't do a search on this topic.
If there is one about it, who cares because this is a new one.
I just got of the phone with my mom who happens to be very superstitious. During phone conversations with her I always ask her is she still walking "around" the poles rather than splitting them?
Are you superstitious? If so how superstitious are you? What's your opinion about it?
I know I'm contradicting myself here, but though I don't believe in superstitions, despite my best efforts, I do think I have a certain tendency to accept superstitious beliefs, and almost indefinitely do hold some beliefs I'm sure. Though I'm not completely aware of them, I totally would try to expunge them if I recognized them as superstitious.
My opinions on superstitious beliefs are kind of harsh. I mean, seriously, how can we as human beings be rational when we persist in believing in superstitions? To me, having superstitious beliefs, is like having an extra arm that's never used for anything but to just pretty much get in the way.
There's people who believe in ESP, dreams, knocking on wood, not standing on a grave, broken mirrors, not opening umbrellas inside, black cats not crossing paths, ect. ect.
and I 'm sure it's got to be common across many different cultures too.
