Post Five – The Luck Factor

Post Numero Cinco

I found the area of the article that discussed Superstition very interesting. I think superstition is a powerful thing. I mean, I know that knocking on wood will not affect anything, but yet, I still do it. I mean let’s be real… crossing your fingers. I cross my fingers every time I check my mega millions lottery ticket(s) and last time I checked I still don’t have 200 million in my bank account. So, what makes us do things like that? I mean, maybe it gives us hope or optimism. Maybe the sheer fact of knowing that we’re knocking on wood or crossing our fingers gives us a sense of calm. If we don’t, could he be a cause of basic anxiety? Perhaps.
