"Weit!! Jangan langkah aku ,kang makin pendek lak aku.."
(Hey!! Dont cross over me, else I’ll be shorter)
Some people call it superstitious, I prefer to view it as mutually-beneficial-unbased-belief…
Do not sit on a pillow, or else you’ll get "bisul",
Do not eat fish head, or else you’ll go "bahlul",
Don’t cross over me, or else I’ll be shorter,
Dont’ point at rainbow, or else you’ll lose your finger..
In Malay tradition, superstitious quotation such as above is used for
hundreds of years, with one purpose (according to the elders) : To
culminate morality into the youngsters..
At one point I do aggree with this (Of course it’s rude to cross over
someone while they’re laying on the floor), but then again, since when
it become immoral to point at rainbow???
I believe people create superstitious, is parallel to what we know
nowadays as "hope". There’s thing that we can control, other’s we
can’t. And in the middle of it, we hope that we will always get the
favourable outcome. And thus, we hope…but sometimes hope is not
enough, we feel that we need to realize it into something..physical,
visible…because hope is subjective, and to those freaky-practical
persona out there…sitting silently-hoping, is an act of
mediocrity…and thus, we create superstitious thing….for when the
unfavourable outcome arrives, we can always blame it into something
else (e.g. No wonder I was scolded by the lecturer today, I forgot to
step into the lecture hall with my right foot) ~ gosh, go figure it
out…Islamic morality & akhlak do advise us to step in with right
foot, but it doesnt state that a failure to practice can provoke a bad
thing onto you..
But anyhow, sometimes its nice to have superstitions. I like it when
girls trying to slap each other knees when a second before that, they
accidentally start to talk at the same time. They believe it will bring
them the "prince charming"…I think we should put this kinda audible
in YM, so we can extend our superstitious practice into the modern-age
cyber world
p/s: I have my own superstition too…I believe whenever my nose bleed,
someone, somewhere,at one isolated point in the world, had actually
said "I love u" to me……….nah…..that’s garbage-talk
