Ha ha. I love this question... I'm moderately superstitious. I'll touch wood (to safeguard something bad from happening.) I don't truly believe it works but, I still find myself doing it- just in case. I suppose that's what it comes doen to- the whole: 'Just in case'. Most of the time, the actions are so slight and inconsequential, it seems worth doing them- just in case.
Same goes for the negative stuff. I heard that if you recite the Lord's prayer backwards in front of a mirror, the devil will leap out and get you! I'm not sure I believe in either and, it seems so obvious that it's nonsence but still, I wouldn't do it! What would be the benefit of doing it?
I probably wouldn't do anything that was supposedly connected to dark magic. Just in case. I don't really care if people say that means I'm superstitious or, can't think logically. I don't feel the need to prove myself. I'm not a hardcore believer in magic or spirituality but, I'm not utterly convinced it doesn't exist either so- why f*ck about with it for a dare?
Just wrong doing in general really. Someone offered me a sweet at work once- when I worked in retail. We weren't allowed to eat on the shop floor. I turned it down. After which, they made a big thing out of me always obeying the rules and, why don't I try rebelling this time? Because it didn't feel worth it! Why risk getting into trouble just to eat a sweet? I felt like telling them I was taking enough risks trying to pursue a career in art! That I was saving my rebellious, risk taking side for the really big, important stuff!
