Is the superstitious thing true or not?

When people talk about superstition nowadays, it often means ghosts and demons, and heaven and Buddha, while science is the opposite. The red wind of new China has spread all over China, and the whole country is advocating advocating science and opposing superstition, knocking down all kinds of ghosts and monsters, leaving only the three major religions with the largest number of believers, but party member and public officials are not allowed to believe in it, and the effect of anti-superstition is really remarkable. Now everyone knows that there are no ghosts in the world, but they may not really agree with it. What is superstition? What is not superstition? In the eyes of many people, our fortune telling, geomantic omen and even Chinese medicine in China are superstitions, but Buddhism from India is not superstition. Many people say that fortune telling is superstition, but they go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva. For example, some people want to have children, so they go to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, but they don't know that Guanyin was handed down from India. What's even more ridiculous is that Guanyin is a man in India, but actually turned into a woman after arriving in China, even though Guanyin can bless good men and believe. I think it's ridiculous.

It is said that science is not superstitious, and the definitions of science and superstition are completely opposed. Non-science means superstition, and superstition means non-science. Modern people who have long believed in science feel nothing wrong at first glance, but it is ridiculous to think about it. Science and superstition are never either one or the other! Think about everything we use in our technological life now, such as lighters and flashlights, or high-tech mobile phones, computers, airplanes and cannons. Which one didn't exist like a god in ancient times? Here I'll tell you a story. In my hometown, at that time, the educated youth was sent to our village, and once again they cut weeds at the edge of rice fields and accidentally cut them on the knees. At that time, a lot of blood was shed. At that time, a man in the village held a handful of water in the field, mumbled a spell at the handful of water, and then put the water in his mouth and sprayed it on the wound. The wound did not bleed again, and then it was sent to the village health clinic. Some things. Many people say that they have seen some paranormal with their own eyes, and some people say that they can talk to the gods in the sky. Of course, the latter is nonsense. In the past, a cleaner in our company often told everyone: She always talked to a certain bodhisattva, and the bodhisattva said that our manager would make a fortune in a few years. When I heard this, I wanted to laugh.

For those who are not developed in science and technology, this is called superstition. However, in today's life, if one day or even tomorrow, we can suddenly observe another world with the help of some technology, then what is still superstitious for us today will become a matter of course overnight. Therefore, science is only a fact that has mastered the principle, and superstition is only a science that has not yet been mastered. Some people may say that the examples I cited are all real, and the progress of science can explain them. It is absolutely superstition that ghosts and monsters can't see and feel strange. The theory of ghosts and gods has existed since ancient times. For thousands of years, it has never revealed the truth and has never been overthrown and denied. China has it and foreign countries have it. Generally speaking, the possibility of its existence is infinitely magnified, and there are countless things that ghosts and gods have manifested themselves, and there are also a dime a dozen things that science cannot explain. Such incidents have happened many times, but it is not so strange to appear once in a while. In fact, many things can't be viewed with superstitious eyes, such as Zhouyi, daoist magic, and so on. . Many people can't understand these abstruse things, so they are put on superstitious hats, just like the so-and-so Qigong masters who appeared before. These so-called masters are actually liars, using some magic means to achieve their own goals.

Perhaps the reason why the matter of ghosts and gods can't be clarified is that we haven't been on the right way of understanding, and the direction is a little biased. The truth is not that we can spy on it by science and technology, but that we should really use our cultivated physical and mental feelings, which can only be understood without words. The same is true of the theory of divination. Since there may be ghosts and gods, there may also be heaven. So it is not absurd to have a glimpse of heaven with amazing skills. It is also statistically possible to know the destiny by looking at the face, and it is still reasonable. Many famous scientists have discovered in the later period of their research that all theoretical research ultimately points to theology. Maybe after the extreme development of science and technology in the future, the power of immortals that we imagine now can also be realized by ordinary people. In fact, this is superstition, and this is the real superstition. There are several kinds of people who often believe in superstition. One kind is insatiable people, who often want to clear their sins after they are greedy. And the other is the kind of people who often deduct employees' wages. After these people do bad things, they want to put some turtles, some small fish and birds, thinking that this will make their future life more leisurely, but people are watching. There are still many people like this.

In fact, we really can't look at many things with superstitious eyes. You think some things are superstitious, but others think it's just your ignorance, frog in the well. Harris's whole exposition runs through a main clue: the formation of eating habits in different cultures is the result of a process of maximizing income. After this process of maximizing income works in different ecological and nutritional conditions and different humanistic environments, different eating habits of different cultures are formed. Man is an omnivore, feeding on both plants and animals. From the perspective of human nutrition physiology, animal food can provide amino acids, vitamins, minerals and so on more effectively than plant food. It is relatively easy to obtain plant food, so people are more eager to obtain animal food in the case of food shortage. Harris's series of discussions are based on the motive force of human's diligent pursuit of animal food.

I'm still saying that it's also a superstition to believe too much in the so-called science. Superstition can't be trusted, and you must never waste your good time or even delay your business by asking God to worship Buddha. For ghosts and religious deities, I still believe in ghosts, because religion is really artificially fabricated and circulated, and even used as a political means, its authenticity is greatly reduced, and its superstition is more intense. However, it is still worth popularizing to believe in religion. In my opinion, to believe in religion is only to have awe and be a good person for decades, and it is not necessary to talk about the gods and buddhas all day, or even to be superstitious about their omniscience and omnipotence, otherwise it will really become superstition. The so-called superstition is that you have a fascination with your heart and have to find a way out for it. There is no way. With awareness, people's life is completely different from animals. Animals can rely on feelings and instincts to survive, but people can't, or people don't want to, because with awareness, there is hope and motivation for change. Every achievement and progress of human society can not be separated from the participation of consciousness, specifically knowledge. However, consciousness is not a foresight, but a hindsight. Moreover, hindsight still sums up what it has come from, and it has taken many detours and experienced many failures. This is the defect of knowledge. It is precisely because knowledge is flawed that people feel uncertain and unpractical when facing their own hopes and lives. In order to eliminate this kind of psychology, they have to find a support for themselves. It can be a fairy ancestor, a Buddha god, a scientific truth or a sage's sermon. In short, it is something that makes their actions closely cooperate with their minds, without contradiction or entanglement.
