Why in Haiti do you have only one shoe or a shaking leg that could bring your mother an early death?

This is a superstitious statement. In Haiti: Mom's life is in danger. For example, if you only have one shoe, sweep the floor at night, shake your legs, or eat watermelon and grapefruit, then you may have brought the bad luck of early death to your mother.

In a broad sense, superstition refers to people’s blind belief or worship of things. Superstition in a narrow sense, according to the customary customs after the liberation of our country, specifically refers to people's thoughts and behaviors that believe in astrology, divination, feng shui, fortune telling, gods and ghosts, etc. Superstitious activities generally refer to activities such as drawing lots, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, exorcising ghosts, and dancing with gods, etc., engaged in by folk magicians, witches, fortune-tellers, and Feng-shui masters.

Some researchers believe that superstition can also be defined as the "wrong" connection between the real world and supernatural phenomena. Some researchers also pointed out that superstition is a by-product of the evolution of adaptive strategies and a means of survival. A large number of behavioral research results reveal that when people lack self-control, they will be more inclined to superstitious behavior. Especially when most people in the group exhibit superstitious behavior, the herd effect will make superstition stronger.

So, is there a relationship between cerebral cortex activity and superstitious behavior? Recently, researchers from the Key Laboratory of Behavioral Science at the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, tried to use functional brain imaging technology to directly test whether superstitious concepts can actually cause related reactions in our human cerebral cortex.

First, people would rather sacrifice real and visible money in exchange for false and invisible good fortune;

Second, this false and invisible thing does have a solid nerve. Basics; thirdly, the subjects who showed a higher degree of superstition in their answers to the superstitious scale, their brain imaging data showed that the middle and superior gyrus of the right frontal lobe was involved in making superstitious choices and non-superstitious choices. The greater the difference in activation levels.

Based on the above findings, the researchers speculated that when subjects were faced with choices, they were weighing known monetary costs and potential "lucky" benefits. When he finally chose an auspicious date, it was the result of suppressed rational thinking. Perhaps some stubborn superstitious behaviors can be changed by establishing correct conditioned connections or inhibiting activity in superstitious brain areas.

In fact, superstition is "irrational belief in certain behaviors or rituals". It is a feudal habit left over from China for thousands of years. In the face of natural disasters, poverty and hardship, and loneliness, In the face of promotion and wealth, superstition has given the working people a kind of spiritual hope and strength. However, feudal superstition is different from religious superstition. It has no formal organizational form, nor fixed classics, creeds, and places. Most of its behavioral results are for the purpose of fraud, and it is the target of severe crackdowns and bans by the state. To put it bluntly, superstition is not trustworthy, but the main reason why some people still believe it is simply: 1. Fear of unknown things, and 2. Lazy thinking makes people unwilling to think.

Every region has superstitious activities, so Haiti has this saying.
