Many people think that superstition is based on undefined faith and that what ever happens has no connection to any omen or sign that forewarned the individuals. One must agree that there is no logical connection between a belief and something that happens later but do we trust only in what is logically right and nothing else? There are millions in the world who have their lucky numbers, lucky days and lucky signs. Their beliefs have often led them to success. Therefore, one cannot safely assume that superstition is purely based on ignorance and that it can lead one to misery.
