Look at the yellow calendar. It says we are not allowed to break ground today, but what should we do if we break ground?

Superstition is related to people's quality. Superstition is the product of ignorance. There are more than 200 million illiterate and semi-illiterate people in our country. When they encounter setbacks and difficulties in life, they will choose superstition as an irrational way to pursue psychological balance.

They try to trust their tortured hearts through superstition, try to change their misfortunes through superstition, and try to get good luck through superstition; At the same time, some people seek personal gain by creating superstitions.

Superstition is related to people's needs. It is a subjective state that people exist because they lack something, and demand is the original motive force of behavior. Psychologist Maslow believes that people have physiological needs, security needs, socialization needs, respect needs and self-realization needs, which point to a certain goal. When a certain goal is blocked, this demand will become stronger.

If people have health goals, success goals, job hunting goals, love goals and family goals ... if these goals cannot be achieved, some people may "rush to see a doctor" and seek shelter from ghosts and gods.

Superstition is related to people's wrong reasoning. Inference is a kind of thinking activity that people infer the result according to the reason or attribute it to the result. Many things in nature and society have causality and time-space relationship, and their existence is objective and independent of human will. However, superstitious people infer or explain objective phenomena with subjective consciousness, and describe accidental coincidence in nature as the arrangement of ghosts and gods.

If someone is struck by lightning and dies, it is an accident in essence, but it is said that it is predestined and caused by evil deeds.

To get rid of superstition, from a personal point of view, we should do:

1. Seriously study scientific and cultural knowledge and constantly improve their cultural quality. Ignorance is the foundation of superstition, and science is a powerful weapon to overcome superstition. In modern society, most people who are really superstitious are farmers and women with low education. To get rid of superstition, we must first arm ourselves with scientific knowledge, which can help people overcome ignorance and move from spontaneity to consciousness.

2. Establish a firm belief in materialism and be a strong-willed person. There are also some literate people in the world who believe in superstition. The main reason is that they have not established a solid historical materialism, their will is weak, and they can't see the development law of things clearly. Therefore, we should not only learn scientific and cultural knowledge, but also seriously study dialectical materialism, establish a materialistic world outlook, hone our will, and not be a person who follows the crowd.

3. Cultivate your healthy hobbies. For example, physical exercise, ballroom dancing, fishing, playing chess, piano, calligraphy and so on. Many hobbies can not only cultivate temperament and enrich life, but also resist the erosion of superstitious activities, killing two birds with one stone.
