Run From Superstitions !

 “ Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom”. Do you believe in superstitions? I am sure that most of you will answer a big  “NO” to this question. But even though we say no sometimes unknowingly the power of fear brings some superstitions into our mind. One of the superstitions is seeing a black cat on the road. Many believe that  it will bring bad luck. Or some danger is gonna happen on the journey. 


The effect of superstition can be negative or positive on people. I guess many of these myths originated in ancient times. People in those times just started these to control others. But over time it came up with different meanings. We have seen around us people offering promises to God for achieving  something. People are ready to offer gold ornaments to temples in order to get  a baby or visit famous temples and churches after getting a job and the list of promises goes like that. But what if these promises cross a limit? Some people are ready to offer anything, even their lives to achieve their needs. Whether they are educated or not, but at times they don’t use their brains to think what the logic is. All they want is to achieve their needs through superstitions. 


Few days back the newspaper reported a news from Nagercoil in Tamil Nadu. A 32 year man committed suicide after getting a job. You might be wondering why he committed suicide after such a good outcome. Maybe it will be due to his overpressure at work. Or maybe some family issues. But the reality is quite shocking. None  of the above is not a reason for his suicide. Then what is the reason? The answer is “Superstition”. The man named Naveen was an engineering graduate and was unemployed for several years. So he offered God a promise that if he gets a job he will give up his life to God and will always be with God. After that Naveen got a job in a bank in Mumbai. Naveen believed that he got the job because of the promise he had made to God. So to keep his promise given to God he committed suicide. 


After reading this I guess the first question that comes to your mind would be “ If his plan is to commit suicide after getting a job then what is need for that job”. I don’t know the answer to this question. Let your imagination answer this question. 


The only thing to keep in mind is to think before you make any decision. Think logically. That is enough to strive away superstition. All the best, keep moving. Don’t forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a blessed and happy day.
