dear xyz,
how are you ? i heard that u are following superstitions . i was very dissapointed to hear this . i wish you would stop following it . listen to me . in todays world only science works and superstitions is a mark of social backwardness . these superstitions not only harm our thinking but also affects everyones life negatively Superstitions are beliefs that have no rational or verifiable proof. Sometimes, like in the case of the woolly worm, they are just for fun. But some people hold to superstitions out of real fear, using them to predict the turn of their luck. Superstitions lead people to carry good luck charms, with the belief that these charms will sway fate in their favor. Whether you engage in superstitious behavior as a form of entertainment, or if you really believe you could be a victim of vampires, almost everyone indulges a superstition now and then.

For those of you who hold no real belief in superstitions, then your life and behavior is probably not influenced much by them. But if you find yourself altering your behavior as a result of some perceived superstitious sign or omen, then your life is probably greatly influenced by superstitions. A common superstitious practice is the reading of Zodiac sign advice in the daily paper. Nowadays you can even have your sign predictions sent to you via text message or email! These witty quips guide us in our work, hobbies, and even romance. Have you ever read your Zodiac sign advice, and then modified your behavior that entire day in order to follow the good will of the prediction (or avoid the bad luck)? How would you have behaved had you not read the advice for your sign? The funny thing about this type of thing is that it usually winds up as a self-fulfilling prophecy. In other words, because you were so worried about the given advice, you caused it to come true simply because you modified your behavior. Then, when the prediction comes true, whether in real life or in your imagination, you attribute the prophecy to the stars, rather than your actual behavior.

Fear is another result of superstitious beliefs. Fear is caused by the realization that much of life is beyond our control, such as natural disasters, car accidents, or disease. From the dawn of time, humans have looked above and beyond themselves for help in these circumstances. Religious systems all have their God or gods that provide comfort, guidance and healing to their participants. While religion in and of itself is not superstitious, it can become superstitious if the participants attempt to control their deity by their actions and behavior. Even Christianity can become a practice in all things superstitious when Christians do things with the goal of manipulating God into performing some miracle or favor. The line between religion and superstition is a fine one, but when rational faith becomes blind manipulation by using control tactics, the religion has lapsed into superstition. A minor example of this would be someone hanging the image of a guardian angel from his or her rear-view mirror. These cute, little angels are often holding a paper or ribbon displaying a prayer of safety. For some people, the symbol itself comforts them by making them believe that they are less likely to be involved in a fatal car crash, merely due to the symbol’s presence. Christian legalism can even be said to be a form of superstition, in that participants obey certain man-made rules in order to increase their odds of going to Heaven when they die.i hope you follow my advice and be away from these superstitions . thank you and take care .



yours lovingly
