Good point. But as for believing in superstitions, I think, to a large degree, it's a choice rather than anything else. It's a comfortable feeling to believe that certain behaviour or items can give you an edge in life by bringing good luck. Or it's convenient to shift the blame/responsibility to bad luck, i.e. why blame yourself and your crappy driving for crashing the car when you could blame some black cat or Friday 13th?
Yeah, that might be.
But I believe that you are responsible of everything that happens to you, good or bad. That way at least you have a chance to change your life.
If you blame things on others or in "god's acts", etc, then you can't change those things at all.
I much prefer getting all the blame, because it comes with the ability to change.
