Whats In A Day

Are there any cosmic implications when the dates Friday the 13^th and February 14^th follow each other on the calendar? Is it possible that the omens of doom or good fortune are magnified or canceled out? Is there really any significance to the meanings vested in either day? The ritual of Valentine’s and the superstition of Friday the 13^th have become significant, if unconscious, determinants of the behaviour of a great mass of humanity.

Its a day in 365 but people invest a lot of emotion in those days. So do we do it because we have a real belief in what the mythology of the day is? Or do we just go with the flow and get swept up in the glamour and commerciality of it.

Superstitions tend to give us excuses for why we either dont try hard enough or fail at something we attempt. It makes it ok to believe it was ill fated. Yet in actual fact, the myth of many superstitions lie in literature or fiction. They just happen to have grown in strength over the years.

The wonderment is how we can let such superficial play a crucial role in our lives. Maybe we should just learn to seize the opportunity of everyday to tell and show each other how much we're loved. And we could spend everyday trying as hard as we can to achieve all that we put our hands to. That way, even if we dont succed we should at least be fulfilled.
