But superstitious beliefs as such still exist and i guess i'm not wrong when i say i believe many pple do practice them even today. the prob is some of the beliefs are jus tooo abstract for me that they seem ridiculous. Some tt i know off are:
- Don't buy perfume/shoe for ur partner– u guys will break up!!
- If a black cat crosses the street while u're walking – it's pure bad luck!!!
- If u wish upon a shooting star, ur wish will definitely come true
- 13 is not jus a number, it an unlucky one!
- Dun cut ur fingernails at night - again it's just pure bad luck.
- If your right ear itches, someone is speaking well of you. If your left ear itches, someone is speaking ill of you! bewareee!
- If u pull out a gray or white hair, it will cause ten more to grow in its place. (anyone who has white/gray hair, pls test this out and let me know if this is true! haha)
- If u break a mirror, it means 7 years of bad luck.
- If 3 people are photographed together, the one in the middle will die first.
- If u see a baby in your dream, it signifies innocence, warmth and new beginnings and a love affair may be blooming for you in your near future.
- If a woman dreams she is nursing a baby, she will be deceived by the one she trusts the most
- If you dream of death it's a sign of a birth, if you dream of birth, it's a sign of death.
If u guys noe anymore, pls share with me. these beliefs can get extremely interesting. hehe..
i won't be a hypocrite here, i actually used to belief that the 3 pple taking photograph thingy was realli true. evrytime i took a pic with 2 others, i scared myself thinking i was gonna die first! haha. but i've grown out of it now. it really doesn make sense to me. tell these to my mother's grandmother's grandmother's generation and they mite believe these beliefs without any questioning at all. but it's different now and pple nowadays are driven by logic and reasoning. and fact has it that both reason and logic are missing from most of these superstitious beliefs. how to believe them? yet many pple still do. maybe it's out of fear that there's sth to all these beliefs and failure to follow them mite mean them harm. i dunno.. but as for me, i think most of them dun make sense and i've felt alot of times that they actually conflict with my religious belief.
Naz also once told me rasheed bro got her a perfume. and no, they din break up. they're happily married rmb? muzzy once bought me shoe.. and no, we din walk out of each other's life or watsoever. in fact,we're getting closer each day. so now, can u make a wild guess wad i'm gonna get muzzy for his birthday next yr?? Yes yes!! perfume, shoes, handkerchief, watches, and maybe undegarments(jus in case someone comes up with 'u buy undergarments for ur bf and u guys will break up' hahaha) and then i'll wait and see wad happens. but sadly, i can say 99.999999999% nth will happen. caz i put my faith in god. and the prayers i make to him. not in the mysical powers of the perfume or the shoe.
