Superstition
When mentioning superstition,many people will look down their nose at those who are superstitious.Especially in rural areas,the majority of villagers are superstitious.In their eyes,superstition is practical to a certain extent.For example,many villagers hold the deep-seated idea that praying for good fortune can help their relatives and friends who are critically or terminally ill overcome the troublesome diseases.Maybe they are deeply convinced that Gods and Buddha who are with supernatural power are in control of everything in the world,certainly including life and death.Gods and Buddha are the real emperors of the whole world.
I can not tell whether superstition is practical or not,personally speaking,there is no necessity to research it.However,many people are strongly against superstition,especially those self-appointed Homo sapiens.They maintain that superstition is impractical,and that as human beings who have entered a new century it is our duty to oppose superstition and develop technology.In addition,in their opinions,only science is the truth,and everyone should pursue it and then uphold it without the least reservation.All things concerned with superstition are supposed to be discarded.
But,still,is the existence of superstition reasonable since it has rooted in the world for so many centuries?I think,more or less,superstition contributes to the good public order.For example,it is said that the local god of the land in a village urges the fight among villagers to come to an end.In details,there are two different parties in the village:One is for renovating the tiny temple housing the village god because it can bring good harvests; the other one is strongly against it because they argue that it is unnecessary to waste so much money.Each party sticks to their guns and is unwilling to give up to the other.And then the appearing of the local god of the land solves all problems.Later,all villagers are for renovating the tiny temple housing the village god,and they lead a peaceful life again.So we can not but admit that superstition is somewhere good.And everyone should adopt a right attitude towards it
