I am not a superstition person however I know people who are very superstitions. Well there are person who are afraid if a miror is broken, or if they see a balck cat, which think that it brings unfortune. Do you belive in zodiac signs???

interesting topic. I know superstitions have no basis on objective reality. Perhaps the real gray area is the subjective effect on people - negative and positive. I recommend that everyone drop all negative effects and focus on the positive effects e.g. hope, enthusiasm, motivation. There is a saying: "if it helps us go the extra mile and achieve what is otherwise not attainable, why not? (believe in superstitions)" Cheers

Hi, GAUCI123! Yes, I am a little superstitious when it comes to certain things. Especially a mirror that is broken.. I try not to walk in front of a tree. Or behind it..

In front or behind a tree? Never heard of that one before. This must mean you never take a walk in a forest? Take care, have a nice day.

Believe is not really the word. Though being born and brought up in Canada, I was superstitious. I think in being afraid of these things you tend to make it happen. Like once I was driving, and I saw a black cat walk across the road in front of me. I told myself not to act stupid and drive. (Before then I usually would turn around,hahaha) I stopped the bus, and walked towards the back and heard a sizing sound. There was a big nail stuck in the tire! I don't want to believe in it, but somehow I still do. hahaha!!! As for sodiac? Yes some things are true. The stars have even been used in the Bible. I don't go as far as to believe everything, but the basic's seem pretty clear to me. Though I beleive that everyone has his/her own personality outside of what the stars say. We still have a choice to what we are and want to become. Take care, have a nice day

even though there's no evidence behind it, i can't hinder myself from not following these beliefs. Perhaps, it is a product of your environment or society's beliefs
