How superstitions affect us?

Hey everyone! I’m back again with a fresh topic for you all to brood over. This article mainly hovers around superstitions and how they impact us in a negative way.

Things that aren’t true but are believed by numerous people hover around us. We can name multifarious of them. For instance, we should not trim our nails at night, breaking of glass is considered as inauspicious or a bad omen, tossing coins unnecessarily brings bad luck and so on……. There are so many that we can’t even count. But I wonder how people being acquainted with the fact that these are mere false beliefs still have faith in them. What’s more ridiculous is that they educate the same old myths to their successive generations. Poor off-springs!

Superstitions cause more harm than we think. Let’s see how:

Firstly, superstitions spread false information and are solely concocted on the basis of people’s perceptions. They are not at all proven facts. It not only gives rise to misconceptions but also makes one delusional and one lives under a blanket of fallacy. You rather become irrational and tend to shape your opinions and make your decisions on lines of these fake beliefs. You have an impractical approach to every situation. This leads to hindrance of your growth in every way. For example, black cat crossing one’s way is perceived as a sign of obstructions in one’s path. What if one crosses your path while you’re on your way for a job interview? Would you just stop right away just because that cute tiny creature is believed to bring bad luck? Well, if you’re, highly superstitious then you would probably even do that sacrificing your exclusive opportunity to secure a job and follow your passion. See, that does surely impact your growth; it hampers your path and even inhibits your mental growth. Added to this, myths also lead to credulity and you become compliant and complacent and very gullibly accept and conform to the norms of the society.

So, in a nutshell, superstitions should be discouraged. You can stop spreading such incorrect ideologies and you can even commence by questioning everything you find illogical or something which you think doesn’t make sense at all.

So, that is all for today! I would love to read your views on this topic.
