Superstitions is a credulous belief and do not based on reason or knowledge.
Some leads to belief but some may not belief it because they are live among different type of culture, value and norms.
It is also commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, spiritual and the irrational belief that future events can be foretold by specific unrelated prior events.
Example of superstition:
Chinese's superstition
- Car number plates containing the number 8 (examples would be 8888, 888, 88, 8, 168, 668) are a sign of good fortune ( the Cantonese pronunciation for 8 is"baat" which sounds similar to "fatt" which means prosperity.)
- The Chinese also have many superstitions concerning pregnancy such as the emotional state of pregnat women is important. They should stay happy as much as possible. It is believed whatever affects a mother's mind will also affect the baby.
- It is important to have the house completely clean before New's York for good luck in the coming year.
- Red and yellow are the color of good fortune accept by all, while black is a color of bad luck.
- It is best to wear red coming into the new year, as it is considered to be the color that bring the most luck.
In my opinion superstitions are something happened since you, as a human and it is come out with different type of superstitions and everyone had their own perspective towards it. Some people may accept in their life but some others people are unbeliever about superstitions.
