No but I believe that what we dwell on effects the mood of the day and quite possibly the choices we make. Fear and worry can impede good judgment..therefore unwittingly a person can actually open the doors for bad things to happen on days like Friday the 13 . :)
No not really. I see Friday the 13th as a lucky day for some reason. I won't however walk under a ladder ... but that more because of common sense more than superstition.
No, not as in some kind of magic thing. Sometimes there are good reasons behind popular beliefs, such as not walking under a ladder--stuff might fall on you if someone is up there working.
DJ, there is some history to why the 13th came into being and this belief does have some history behind it. It's very interesting how the number 13 was part of this. Yet, I believe more in the scenario of the full moon and how the gravity pull does effect us than today. And I do agree there are some merits to some of these traditional beliefs.
Without internal happiness, one may find oneself a prisoner of worries in a rich castle. Happiness is not dependent upon success and wealth alone, but real happiness depends upon struggling against the failure, difficulties, and problems of life with an acquired attitude of unshakable internal happiness. To be unhappy in trying to find the hard-to-acquire happiness defeats its own end. Happiness comes by being internally happy first, at all times, while struggling your utmost to uproot the causes of unhappiness. The habit of preserving an internal happy attitude of mind should have been started when you were very young, but never mind, it is not too late to begin now. From today on, make up your mind that when you meet your trying relatives, when you come in contact with your overbearing office boss, and when you contact your enemies and the trials of life, that you will try to retain your internal calmness and happiness under all circumstances. One should not believe in Superstitions Or One should not be afraid of friday or tuesday ........ firstly have faith in Almighty with full confidence in yourself ........... that's all.
Why because tomorrow is Friday the 13th? :)
