Many people believe in dumb things like superstitions. Seriosly, does it really matter that black cat has crossed your road? In West Africa people (not all of them. of course) don't like to take photos because they believe that by this way you can to "steal their face". But everybody knows that picture won't do any wrong to you. I think that if someone believes in such kind of things then that person just don't have enough knowledge to explane how some things occur. Our thoughts are material so if you believe in such things they will defenitly happen.
<em>Многие люди верят в глупые вещи, как суеверия. Серьезно, разве имеет какое-то значение, что черная кошка перебежала тебе дорогу? В Западной Африке людям (не всем, конечно) не нравится, когда их фотографируют, потому что они верят, что так ты можешь "украсть их лицо". Но все знают, что фотографии не могут сделать ничего плохого. Я думаю, что если кто-то верит в подобного рода вещи, то тот человек просто не имеет достаточно знаний, чтобы объяснить, как происходят некоторые вещи. Наши мысли материальны, и если вы верите в такие вещи, то они обязательно произойдут.</em>
