Quote:
Very superstitious, writing's on the wall, Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
oo When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands, Rid me of the problem, do all that you can, Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong, You don't wanna save me, sad is my song.
When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh.
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say, Very superstitious, the devil's on his way, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass, Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no
I believe that Stevie has a very good point here, would anyone like to discuss?

I think most of us are "Very superstitious" in some area of life.

I believe that beliefs can lend more pain to an individual than mere suppositionswill; cognitive dissonance can be very depressing.
