just what you said friday the 13th is just a tale. it is nothing but a legend. everytime a friday hits the 13th in the calendar, i wait for something unlucky, weird, or scary to happen but it's just a disappointment. so i think it's just a waste of time to worry about this day. some even consider 13 a lucky number. for me it's just any other ordinary day where anything can happen - good or bad.

We are human beings and we need things to blame.
We just can't accept the sometimes, sh*t happens!
Religion is a good 'fall guy' and we can often blame things on God or ourselves for sinning. But if it puts God in a bad light then it is better to have something else to blame; coming in one door and leaving by another; looking at the moon through glass; horseshoe upside down; and so on.
Take a good look at some goat's entrails and you can really see what is going on!! haha

It has turned twelve noon here, so even if I did believe the old wives' tales, it's too late for anything to happen.
As it happens, the 13th seems to be a very good day for me, and quite a lucky number, so no, I don't believe any of the superstitions like walking round a ladder and a black cat crossing your path.
Brightest blessings and stay safe!

Like many human beliefs, the fear of Friday the 13th isn't exactly grounded in scientific logic. But the really strange thing is that most of the people who believe the day is unlucky offer no explanation at all, logical or illogical. As with most superstitions, people fear Friday the 13th for its own sake, without any need for background information.
The superstition does have deep, compelling roots, however, and the origins help explain why the belief is so widespread today. In this article, we'll look at some of the interesting stories behind this unluckiest of days.
For me, this day is not bad at all. i just received some best response today here in myLot and i think that is good. :)
