Shiver-giver

I was on SQ325 from Frankfurt to Singapore. I noticed that the airline had omitted the 13th row on the plane.

Millions of us are superstitious or believe in luck charms. Why is a "black"cat unlucky - when cats of other colours are pretty much "all right"? Friday is not the shiver-giver; the number 13 is! What is 13? Just another number!

The desire for "good luck"has brought about huge buying audiences for such items as luck charms and rabbits' feet. It seems the only thing unlucky about a rabbit's foot is the rabbit.

Superstitions can be enjoyable when we treat them lightly and laugh about them. They do us no good when they close our minds, start arguments, paralyze our opinions or get us upset.
