Superstition is a queer
concept. It forms in a certain condition in human mind. Unreasonable fear of
different elements and rigid faith in witchcraft, ghosts and various evil
forces are called superstition. It dominates and paralyses the power of
reasoning and rationality of man. No rational explanation is possible for it.
Superstition comes mainly out of ignorance. Orthodoxy and conservatism are
responsible for it. The hooting of an owl, the sound of a cricket, the groaning
of dogs. an untimely sneezing of a cow or a man. etc. make superstitious people
panicky. The effects of superstition are terrible. A superstitious person
suffers physically and mentally without any reason. He cannot prosper in life.
In fact. superstition Is harmful to human civilization. But this is an age of
science. Science has taught man to think rationally. So. man should give up
superstitions and cherish reasonable ideas in this age of modern civilization.
