Superstitions

Different people have different attitudes towards superstitious beliefs. Some take superstitions very seriously and will not do anything that might cause them bad luck. For instance, there are people who will never travel on Friday the 13th, and others will not dress in certain colors, or they may carry lucky objests with them everywhere they go. Others just follow certain superstitions out of a sense of fun. They do not really believe in them, but they do not want to tke any chances.
As for me, I do not consider myself superstitious at all. That does not mean I do not believe in good luck or bad luck, only hat I do not accept that they can be influenced in advance by such events as seeing a black cat or choosing a certain day to do someyhing. However, like many other people, I enjoy observing traditional customs, even when there is no obvious practical benefit. I believe that, in many cases, old traditions can help maintain socieal harmony as well as make life more enjoyable.
