Superstitious MINDS: A Drive to a New Life



A Drive to a New Life

Probably it's one of the peculiarities of human mind that people want to believe. Some believe in ghosts, some in UFOs, others - in superstitions. Such beliefs are not supported by any clear and thorough scientific evidence. For that exact reason they are beliefs, and faith is the only power that keeps them alive.

Most of us still believe in superstitions. “Nothing’s wrong if we follow”, they say. But how do we really know if it’s true or not? Let me give you an example of a superstition. They say, something tragic accident will happen if we travel or stroll before our graduation. But, do we really think that this “accident” will going to happen? Maybe somebody follow while others not. Is there an effect in one’s mind? Yes it is. It affects us in a way that in all superstitions, we will get paranoid just to avoid it. It affects our mind because we thought that it is best if we follow it even if it’s degrading our own perceptions and own beliefs. Indeed, some people are so superstitious that they refuse to leave their homes on certain days, for fear of bad luck striking them down.

So, belief in superstitions may have both positive and negative effects on our lives. Everything depends on the superstition and on what the particular superstition promises to the person. One gets what one thinks of.

If we think, it’s better to forget about those superstitions then forget it for you to move forward. Don’t get stuck in a place just because you’re too afraid of these beliefs and having this "bad luck". There’s nothing wrong in trying. Just try.
