We live in a world where superstitions can control our lives and there’s nothing wrong with this as long as you are aware of this and don’t let these things choose your destiny and help you make decisions based on them. 

For example, you won’t plan your wedding on the 13th because it won’t be auspicious – so, you clearly let the superstition control your life and you have made a decision based on it which can be a mistake, according to experts. There are also individuals who ask for another hotel room if theirs is on the 13th floor. In fact, more than thirty percent of people in the United States consider themselves superstitious.

Even though there are people who don’t consider themselves superstitious, they still do superstitious things, such as saying “bless” when someone sneezes, avoiding a black cat and breaking the mirror and so on.
