Superstition is a very important aspect of our life. Many superstitions, also known as folklore, have shaped the lives and cultures of people dating back to the earliest known civilizations. Though objective opinions consider superstitions to be nothing more than a set of superstitious practices continues on even through modern time.
The attribution of an effect in connection to an irrelevant cause is very telling of the timelessness of human nature and the desire to find meaning and reason behind everything. Because there are occurrences and results that do not always make sense in daily life, analytic minds naturally search for patterns in cause and effect, as a means to bringing order and explanation out of chaos and unexplainable occurrences. Therefore, if a favorable or unfavorable result follows a given course of action, it becomes easy for human mind to draw on what is known about cause and effect.
Superstitions are largely considered to be associated with the existence of certain mysterious forces, especially evil spirits that were supposed to bring bad luck to one unless certain actions were taken to prevent the bad effects. These actions could include modifying an individual’s behavior, avoiding certain action or wearing amulets or lucky charms.
