Some of the superstition beliefs I am familiar with include that when a black cat walks across your path, it will bring you bad luck for the day.
Another superstition is that when one breaks a mirror, he or she would have bad luck for the next 7 years.
A third superstition is that one will suffer from bad luck from walking under a ladder. Some people also believe that the number '13' is an unlucky number.
I think that some people are superstitious as they are overly cautious people who do not want to meet with any mishaps. Some gain this caution from past experiences while others become superstitious after hearing what happened to other people when they did something and had bad luck.I think that it is good to a small extent that people are superstitious. Superstition keeps people on their toes and therefore they are actually more unlikely to meet with any mishaps, which is good for them. Some superstitions beliefs actually have a slight truth to them. For example, one might suffer cuts after breaking a mirror, which is a form of bad luck. However it certainly is not good to be over superstitious, to the point of paranoia, being suspicious of everything around you. This will cause others to think that you are mentally challenged and hence will not speak to you.
