Hello guys. How are you?
O text reading de hoje fala a respeito de superstições.
O Dicionário Aurélio define superstição da seguinte maneira: Sentimento religioso baseado no temor ou na ignorância, e que induz ao conhecimento de falsos deveres, ao receio de coisas fantásticas e à confiança em coisas ineficazes; crendice.
Há quem diga que superstição está mais concentrada nos países pobres e associada à pouca instrução de um povo. Você concorda?
Superstition
There is evidence of superstition among ancient civilizations. But this is not something of the past. Superstition is part of our modern world, too.
Some very old beliefs are present among us today: a broken mirror, for example, means seven years of bad luck. A black cat brings you bad luck when it crosses your way. Some people never walk under a ladder because it also means bad luck. There is a very curious belief among New Yorkers: 13 is a sign of bad luck and many buildings have no thirteenth floor.
There is also a place for good luck in superstition. Some charms and beliefs are popular because they bring good luck. A horseshoe, for example, or a four-leaf clover are popular good luck charms around the world. In Brazil, it is very difficult to find a ticket of the Federal Lottery with a final 13 – this is the lucky number. There is another curious belief in Brazil: three kisses on the face of a single bring marriage.
Superstition is certainly part of the past, present, and future life of man. For some people, it is ignorance; for other, it is an important part of their lives.
