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!!

I hope children too be respectful to their parents. This time children do not see how their parents work hard for them to have something to eat and pay for the bills plus education this time is so high like a crazy thing that cannot e avoided.Children ought to love their parents for no matter what their love for their children is pure and no single day that they do not think about you and about how you will become successful.You have to pay their kind gestures and love to you.

Oh my, grade 6 and he is already taking drugs? Who introduced it to him by the way? The parents didn’t even notice that he was into it?

Then it means indeed that they don’t have time to bond with him so that’s why they never even noticed it.

Sad, that the parents keep working so they can give their child a bright future, yet their son has become an addict. And didn’t they notice any furniture or things at home to have been losing and think that it could already be their son selling them?

Sometimes, the parents only thinks of making themselves rich because they thought that giving their children luxuries is already enough to make them happy. No, it’s not that way.

We have to give them our time and attention. It’s what makes their hearts swell with happiness and turn to drugs to find momentarily happiness.

@Dina, that was so sad by the way for having my nephew a drug addict at a young age. His parents did not notice it but is it that i was able to sense the way their son looks at people seems no bearing, no meaning so dull. We wonder at home why that teacher was able to able to teach for many years in an Ateneo in Cagayan de Oro city. That was a very devastating day learning our nephew was jailed because of an offense that cannot be done bu=y hi should he be in a normal thinking. drugs truly destroys future, he cannot be gird for fear his pusher may just turn in ad tempt him again, plus this time under our new president he is not safe if seen using this bad drug. he will surely be put behind bars.

It is so sad to hear about such incidents when young people were hooked into drugs due to circumstances that boil down to parents who lack time for their children. They should know who their children’s friends are; they should monitor him even from afar or not directly meddling in their activities.

Shaming them in front of classmates is a big no for parents who aimed to discipline them. They should know how to guide their children in a manner that is acceptable and the most effective one.

Based on medicinal value, coconut water can improve the immune system, helps in digesting foods, and improve the overall health of the body. You could just replace drinking water with coconut water and still maintain a healthy body.

I love the taste of Coconuts, I haven’t had one in a long time as they are so expensive here. It is truly amazing how many uses that coconuts have whether it’s for nourishment, beauty or health.

That is true , and thank you so much for adding some important facts of coconut tree. It is indeed a tree of life. There are countries no coconuts planted. Maybe their climate disallow them to grow coconuts.Like in New Zealand, when I visited that country, I was looking for cocos none were found.

@Tracy, that is true this simple creature is so amazing in its features of heath benefits.Coconuts are sold here at a cheap price. Why is it expensive there because they are exported to your country form Asian countries. I do not know if there are coco its in China for when I taught in China I have not seen a single coconut there in Chang Chun city, North China.

I love coconuts! It is really a very versatile and useful tree. Thanks, I only knew now that it’s roots can be used to alleviate rheumatism pains. I will recommend it to people who have aching legs due to arthritis or rheumatism.

I really love coconut…it also help in sperm production

I use coconut oil on my skin and my hair. it leaves my skin soft shiny and smooth and keeps my hair moisturized for a few days. I heard you also use it on ur teeth.
