What Will Happen If Black Cat Crosses Your Path?
In ancient times in India people used to travel through forests in the night by either bullock carts or horse carts with a light of the lantern (lamp used in olden times). They used to get animals like cats, foxes in their way. These animals have glowing eyes and it scares the cows and horses which pull the carts. In this type of situation, the cow or the horse which pulls the cart can react in any way. It can run faster, it can stop moving, it can also start jumping. And it is very dangerous for the person riding on it. That is why it WAS dangerous to continue moving if a cat crosses your path.
Now people used to follow the same and stop whenever a cat crossed their path but do not stop by seeing a Traffic’s Red light signal.
Like this many superstitions are followed blindly by us. But, why do we not ask questions against them? Many questions can be asked against these superstitions like: Why do we treat Tulsi plant as Goddess Lakshmi?; Why we should not sleep our head facing north ⬆?; Why shouldn't we sweep after sunset?;Why do people hang lemon and green chilies in shops and vehicles?
