DIFFERENT MEANING OF SUPERSTITION!

     Every people have their own meaning of superstition and maybe they have also different believes about this. As an individual we have the rights to give a different meaning for superstition.We also have a rights to express our feelings and emotion as regards to this.  In the different meaning of superstition it can be a means of real luck or a bad luck, but it is depends to a people in which he/she believes. According on what I've read, this are some meanings of superstition based on the different person:

   Based on Burke, He said that "Superstition is belief that has no basis in reason. It is the daughter of Ignorance and Fear. The word means, literally, standing over—standing still at a thing in fear." Another one is Pascal, he said that "superstition is founded on fear or ignorance, and leads men to form false ideas of duty, to dread chimeras, and to lean on a broken reed."Belief in omens and oracles; servile attachment to ritual, usage, form of words; and see­ing the supernatural in every incident of life—all these come under Superstition." 

   The point of Burke and Pascal, is that the superstition is a fear and is form of ignorance for the people. In a simple way they say that superstition is not good for the people. It can cause harm or something that can cause to death. So ,these two person want us to avoid some superstition so that we can prevent harm.

   Another meaning for superstition is based on religion, it says that "superstition means irrational fear of the mys­terious, and reverence for objects that are no proper objects of worship" and also "superstition is a thing of darkness; it cannot stand the light. It is a child of ignorance; it hates and flees from the face of knowledge.". 

  The point of the religion is that superstition comes because of the evil. We have superstition because we forget to believe in our savior Jesus Christ. But I think, it is not the reason. We have superstition because of the culturally based. It can be adopt from our family or someone who is very superstitious. There is something wrong if we believe in this kind of superstition. We must respect the opinions of other as regard to it.
