Superstition is really silly to believe in. I mean I am not really trying to be so negative about it because it is kind of interesting. But it's really stupid and it's been going on for years and years. People still believe in this even now. You know things like "cats have nine lives", "witch doctors are epic" and "Friday the 13th is an unlucky day". People just believe all that anyways!
Alright you guys have probably heard of "chain letters", you see them around face book, YouTube and so much more websites- even in real life there are some human chain letters. But do you actually think those are true do you actually think "If you don't post this to three other videos" you will die the day after? Alright here's the thing chain letters can be fun at times- you know reading them, but don't take it too seriously it's just made up by people who have nothing better to do and are bored, so they decided to spread some chain letters over the net to frighten people. It's like one of the most dumbest types of superstition, why would you believe someone if you don't even know them and they try to predict your future judging by if you do what they tell you to do or not. It's completely fake and unrealistic.
Number superstition is widely used as if you go ask someone "Hey, what's your lucky number". Ninety percent of them are bound to say "Seven, what's it to ya?" What most of them are not going to say is "Thirteen" because that's considered unlucky in some weird way and Friday the 13th is considered as the most unlucky day. Locker 13 is considered to be freaky. Room number 13 is supposed to be haunted, alright what's the matter of this people just start saying 13 is unlucky, and for what reason?- It is also considered that when you reach the age 13, stimulus number of spots appear on your face, you become rude and very unstable but that's also just stereo typical in a way. Jesus was crucified in Firday the 13th .That is probably why thirteen is considered as devil's number and when combined with the day of Friday it's considered even unluckier. However, in some religions like Sikh or in England, 13 is considered as a good number as if saying "yours god".
Bad luck is stupid as well. Most appear on everyday situations, things such as:
Break a glass and you get bad luck for seven years.
Walk on a crack and you break your mother's back.
Somewhere bad? It's your garage rack.
It's unlucky to walk under a ladder.
Eat a chilly and you'll get madder.
Unlucky to spill salt, if you do then just pick up the split salt and then throw some over your shoulder.
It's even unlucky to pass someone in the stairs.
Unlucky to catch hares.
Do not believe these or any other "bad luck theories", none of these have hard evidence of them being true and you know it. I stepped on so many cracks and I actually enjoying stepping on them but nothing happened to my mom's back. I've passed tons of people in the stairs and no bad luck. Also especially don't believe weird theories such as the glitter theory if you're a girl "Put glitter on and you'll attract a lot of people". Well you might, but they won't be smiling that's for sure.
Just remember this, superstition is stupid- it malupilates your mind and makes you think something's true and when it's just clearly not and has no proper evidence.
