I SHATTERED GLASSES, twice! 0

Superstition beliefs again??? here in our provinces, most of the Roman Catholics here are fun of believing all sorts of superstitious beliefs instead of following their Apostles Creed Prayer.... that in the end sentence of that prayers it say's "but deliver us from evil" so, why believe in superstitious beliefs if you repeatedly say "but deliver us from evil"?????

Hi LetranKnight25, Can't help but butt in. For me, superstitious or not, what is important is your faith in God. We Filipinos were practically born and raised in a country where a lot of people tend to believe in superstitions rather than cling to their faith. Some would even depend their entire existence in following what they call lucky rituals or avoiding bad luck. I am not naive to those things as they were handed down by our ancestors from as early as one could remember. But unlike my ancestors, I would rather believe that God would not allow bad things to happen if you break a mirror or walk under a ladder. Bad things could only happen if we are careless or negligent. I for one have broken not just two but a good number of mirrors and glasses in my entire life but nothing bad has ever happened to me. On several occasions that that happened, they were due to my failure to pay proper attention to what I am doing during those particular times as I am always daydreaming and my thoughts were wandering elsewhere and that is carelessness. One time, I accidentally slipped and hit the large wall mirror, when I tried to hold on to something, eventually pulling it down from it's hook, breaking it in half. It happened because I stepped on the rag on the floor I saw earlier but negligently ignored to pick up. I had a bad fall and felt sore for about a week but there was no such thing as 7 years of bad luck. The only bad thing that resulted from such incident was I had to be a spend thrift for a month to save enough to buy a replacement so I wasn't able to eat out with my friends during the time and missed the happenings. It may sound funny but needless to say, things like this happen because we are careless or not paying attention to what we do, and negligent as putting away things to do for later. Even if when things went wrong, for me, it is quite insensible to blame it on such heresies. As I matured, I also find it logical to think ahead of time or plan ahead before doing anything that will involve the safety and security of the people and the things around me. That way, I only have myself to blame if something went wrong in the end. Of course there are fortuitous events that are bound to happen and that can't be helped. Things that are beyond my powers to resolve I leave in God's hands. Life is too short to live in remorse and fear. I'd rather thank God that I am still alive and enjoying a lot of things including earning in mylot. A blessed day ahead!

I hate days like that when things like that happen. I hope nothing else got broken after that. I hope there is no more bad luck either.

Hi Letran, Yeah my dear friend take it as coincidence life is too precious to delve in what is truly unknown, I am not a superstitious person therefore, let's just be grateful that the glasses shattered and no one was hurt.

hello LK, In my province old folks believe on this superstitious that will bring bad luck well I don't believe on this. Just be careful not to get hurt have a great weekend
