well, there are superstition who seem to be true but most are fake. What we should do is ignoring all these things because god is great and he has ultimate power. Believing in Satan only increases his strength to be in your life. Well, my mum told me never to clip my nails at night. But me i always clip my nails at night and nothing bad/unwanted seem to be happening to me. Well, what i can say is that make your belief in god stronger so that you have the power to fight the dark valleys of your life.

I'm really not a superstitious person. I don't know why, but I'm just not a superstitious person, at all. I know that some people are, and I respect that, but I'm not superstitious at all.

Superstitions are a definite part of our belief and thought. It is present in almost all the countries and societies. What your mother says is not at all meaningless. By obeying that, your marriage might have completed by now! There is some unkonwn and undiscovered scientific fact behind it that has only experienced in many cases of superstitions. Since some super level functions with such beliefs, we can never ignore it and it is better to just okay and obey it and regard it as spoken words of elders! Thanks for this nice topic and have a good day!

Sometimes things do come true, there is a basis for all superstitions. They do sound really weird and when they come true it seems even weirder. Also, if you believe in jinxing, then why not superstitions? :P It's mainly that once a person starts listening to a lot of superstitions, sometimes their conscience actually starts believing in them and then so does the mind, unknowingly. I personally don't believe in superstitions, if something relating to a particular superstition does happen, I attribute it to coincidence.. :o
