Superstitions Fri Aug 22, 2008 1:51 am  Superstitions
 

Hi Dear Torsten and everybody!
I am surprised to notice that several superstitions that there are in my country are in many other countries. Simply the same!
I would like to say I am not superstitious!
I belive in God with me.
I would like to add that in my country, besides all susperstitions, people belive too much in saint'miracles. They hope good things will fall from the sky! They hope, hope and hope...
All the best for everybody

On Friday 13th, my behaviour isn't changed.It's an ordinary day .But in Romania people is superstitious on Tuesday 13th-the 3 badluck moments day.But I really don't care, if something is going to happen to you , there is no way to foresight it and do anything about it. So I'm not superstitious.

Hey to everyone! It's quite an interesting topic about superstitions, I think. Every culture has it's own superstitions that you will even never guess about Smile In my country, for example, parents wear on their new-born baby's wrist a red thread in order to word off curse. But I don't believe this because I think that only a sincere prayer can save a baby from a bad eye. I can't say that I'm superstitious... but sometimes happens. To tell the truth I got married on Friday the 13th Smile We decided to challenge that day and show that relations between the courple depended on their own only and not the day they were married on. The result is a good marriage for 4 years and a 3 year old daughter Smile And I'm completely agree with Conchita as to the human's mind power.

Hello every one

I'm not superstitious, because I believe in sciences as I studied in secondary school. But some times I prefer to think as old persons, over all if I begin my day with bad incidents or accidents. In that case I feel that day perhaps become bad day and I must handle slowly and keeping my mind opened against every things.

I ask you to correct my mistakes if I have made any.

Best regards.
Abdelhamid.

As for me, i am not supestitioius. Some people said that if you cross beneth the underpants of women, your luck will lose. Let's think about where we are born, yes, it is from the birth canal (vigina). So, if you think so, everyone will lose luck in this world.

Hi Torster
Torster I am not quite clear with the subject, "Are you superstitious," I mean i don't understand the word "superstitious". I gues it might be something good or bad.

Hi Chol,

If you are superstitious, you believe in luck or magical forces. This can either be good or bad -- it just depends on how you look at it.
Regards,
Torsten

In my case certainly not. I wonder how can be superstitious. By the bye I could not believe any god so far.
I have one request to Torsten, kindly correct mistakes which I made in this post.
