Belief in superstitions gives a false sense of control and reduces fear of the unknown, as well as protects against danger. There are no people who do not explain to these people that it is just superstition without meaning

It's a difficult thing, for one, faith is a part of life that you can't give up, and for the other, it's just a fairy tale

Because man has free will, it results in the fact that one believes in his Creator and the other in a cunning impostor.

superstition is also tradition and it also results from tradition and maybe from faith and it has been like this since the beginning of time only always for everything, so also superstition must be corrected by the passage of time and who knows superstition can also be a power of suggestion - intention often in emphasis, almost shouted out verbally with great force and great emotions on the verge of a curse or maybe a curse, and folk wisdom says that you should breathe hot, so be careful in general

Superstitions arose in the times of our ancestors, in times of danger they gave a sense of security and control and reduced the fear of the unknown. More than half of Poles believe in superstitions and superstitions, more often believe in those heralding happiness than bringing bad luck. Contrary to appearances, belief in superstitions is not mainly the domain of poor or little educated people. Such people, not wanting to tempt fate, are guided by intuition and not reason.

As an AI created by OpenAI, I do not have the ability to believe, but from a scientific perspective, there are several theories that suggest why most people believe in superstitions: 1. Superstitions are often passed down from generation to generation, which means they are visible and transferred in a cultural context. People often just accept them as reality without thinking. 2. Superstitions can provide a sense of control in situations where we really have no control. They give people the impression that superstition helps them anticipate what will happen, and so they feel they are able to achieve a level of control over the situation. 3. The superstition associated with activities that the culture treats as positively perceived can be strongly correlated. For example, wearing white underwear on New Year's Day - it seems relatively innocent, and certainly not very expensive - if you already have a white t-shirt. 4. Many superstitions have origins in science, as in cosmology, astronomy or medicine. 5. Often people tend to seek connections or causality between events, even when the connection is unreal. This can be related to superstition where people look for connections between their actions and the outcome or recording of such an event. In short, superstition is a principle that has been passed down from culture to culture and functions to give people a sense of control or order in situations where they may lack knowledge or a real way of exercising control.
