Topic: Superstitions: Which are yours? | |
---|---|
This is a good definition of superstition: "Superstition is the belief in supernatural causality—that one event causes another without any natural process linking the two events."
One of mine: I can not throw away printed photographs because I believe it will cause something bad to happen to the people in the photo. I don't have any problem deleting digital photos though. Which superstitions, or supernatural causalities, do you believe? |

Now I have this picture in my head of you, in your home, surrounded by boxes and boxes of pictures that you can't throw away.
Thank God pictures are mostly digital these days. |

I'm wracking my brain but the only one I can think of is "never launch a boat on a Friday."
My dad taught me that one. |

I don't really have any, but find the fact that hotels do not have a 13th floor to be very telling.

This looks like a perfect case for Dirk.
Don't worry about contacting him, because the mere fact that I mentioned him means he's already working on the issue. It's like you said the universe is connected like that. |

a widely held but unjustified belief in supernatural causation leading to certain consequences of an action or event, or a practice based on such a belief.
Since i've dealt with paranormal investigations, there are things i belive in that i didnt used to belive in. Near Death Experiances, Word of thought, Extra Sensory Preception. Some might say, those are superstitions. I dont belive that, but i see their point. |
