Being superstitious
Mother was superstitious and I think that was her only flaw. Lately many things have gone wrong and if I were her I would start to feel that I've been jinxed! I do recall as I was driving about 3.5 weeks ago when a black cat walked across the road, I had to stop for it, it turned and looked at me. Anyway about 10 days ago my hard drive conked out on me and I was in the midst of finalising our returns. Then yesterday I transferred some money online to a wrong account. The recipient is someone awkward to deal with but hopefully she will give the money back soon. I suspect she will or we will have to speak to her father (a close relative!). Then today my mobile just went blank. But luckily it's all just material stuff. I can't wait for tomorrow!

Superstition is a big part of the asian culture, almost becoming the culture itself.
ReplyDeleteNow, the second generation is trying to separate the pure superstition from the "its true, but I can't explain it" type. When I grew up, my uncle told me that I cannot (or was not supposed to) cut my nails at night. I refrained from doing so for a long long time, until I grew older. I once was blind(ed), but now I see.
