I think less are posting on Facebook due to scammers who tend to phising for personal information on those who post about it. And sometimes it feels like a waste of time; just go there to check messages from friends and relatives.

Superstition varies country to country.I think even a superior country like America people also have superstition. Superstition dwells to man because others had met something bad as coincidence to the belief, that is why it may not fade as years go by.In the country of my birth, there are so many superstitious beliefs that mostly guide people to do right acts, but in reverse to the real world for they do not follow like excuse me. They are afraid of the none existent rather than to those humans alive and existing.If a person says excuse me to a fictitious existence of a bad spirit why can’t others say excuse me to the living humans? Maybe they are not afraid, they are only afraid to those having imaginative powers.

As time goes on, new generations do not believe or practice those superstitious beliefs. But in some areas, there are still a lot of it. Sometimes I observe it sometimes not. It is interesting to know they have the same one in New Zealand!

My 4 sister and I grew up not believing any of the superstitious beliefs. My father being a lawyer then would always refute any belief that we would say is being believed by old people.

My mother would believe some but as always would be told by my father that they have no scientific basis.

So far, we all grew up well, even if we didn’t believe any of the superstitious beliefs.

@Dina, that is always how life goes when our father is a lawyer. My father was a retired military official and was always assigned in remote and weird places even entered a cave to rest with his men and nothing had been observed. Superstition is just a matter of thinking because a person believes in it and afraid of it though in reality there is no negative effect in their lives. Somehow we cannot also believe those believers for they lack education and orientation and strong beliefs of God, Those who are close to God as being religious are not easily be affected with their surrounding for God is their instrument against all evils and odd .

Superstition continues to exists as long as there are believers and culture correlates with it. Well anyway, this is better than committing a crime. This kind brings people in unison and bond.

I har a lot about Goa. That place must be a paradise. 🙂

It is right to give thanks or gratitude even to nature because without it man can not live.

‘you want more creative opportunities’?? LOL. LOL. You’re really know how to make me laugh. Substitute “lucrative” for the word “creative”. Sometimes it works out for them. Sometimes not. It does depend on the opportunities. It’s true if you get hooked on a show and they change cast, you keep watching it. But even though I keep watching the program, I find myself always comparing the new cast to the original cast that I really liked. The different cast members make the grade with me. MI-5 is the only show that ever kept changing its cast and I didn’t mind it all. That was an awesome. The only member of the cast that they took out that made me really mad was the lady who played “Ruth” (Nicola Walker). I really liked her. When she died I was furious!!
