Modern medicine is so developed, why are people superstitious?

Pseudoscience is also science. So is superstition. Some things you can't solve. It can only be solved in other ways. As a result, the problem disappeared, and some patients were terminally ill. The hospital can't cure it at all. I finally told a superstition. All right. Things in the world are so strange.

I have been a Buddhist for eleven years. Some people think that believing in Buddhism is superstition, but I don't think so. Buddhism taught me to be kind, compassionate and not greedy. Still don't walk into a dead end of things, don't stick to your own opinions. 10 years ago, I suffered a marriage crisis and was very ill. I was in the hospital for half a month. I still haven't improved since I got home. Fortunately, a Buddhist grandmother who lives downstairs made me believe in Buddhism and gave me some Buddhist books. When I picked up the Buddhist scriptures and began to read them, my heart slowly changed. As I read more and more Buddhist books, I woke up. Everything has happened, and nothing can be forced. When people think about it, their health is getting better. Now I recite Buddha every day, be kind and live in the present. People say I am superstitious. I don't explain, smile.

It is people's blind faith and worship. Superstition is the product of ignorance.

What is superstition? It is superstition that you worship its power but don't understand it.

First, the causes of superstition

(1) Personal quality factors. Superstition is the product of ignorance. Superstition is mostly in rural areas, and it will be more popular among some uneducated people. Some mysterious events happened, such as the dining table split from the middle for no reason, and the knife broke into three pieces for no reason. If some strange phenomena cannot be explained scientifically, there will be no superstition. There is also related to people's needs. There are health needs, job hunting needs, love and family needs ... If these needs cannot be realized, some people may "rush to the hospital" to seek shelter from ghosts and gods. When medicine cannot explain or treat diseases, or when a dead horse is a living horse doctor, I hope that in case of a miracle, at least superstition still gives people hope at the end of science.

(2) Social factors. Sick culture is the root. Superstition is a morbid culture. The feudal system instilled and cultivated a large number of feudal ideas, customs and fatalism in order to rule. Due to the lack of culture and science, the masses were more or less influenced by feudal superstitious activities and accepted a certain sense of ghosts and gods. This superstitious consciousness has been passed down from generation to generation, and the remnants of the old feudal superstition in rural areas still have vitality, and they will emerge at the slightest sign of trouble. Poor social management is the direct cause. Some people are mercenary and make a living by superstitious activities, while others even make a fortune by selling superstitious articles and books. In some places, ghost activities are used as a means to attract tourists. In this ignorant and backward mountain village, some people endure fatigue and poverty. Many women here are overwhelmed and commit suicide by drinking pesticides. Many women suffer from depression and are on the verge of collapse. Superstition has a market, and China lacks psychologists. Therefore, for a long time, both wizards and witches have been playing the role of psychologists. The witch has no supernatural power, but she is just a person who is proficient in human psychology. Witches have a profound insight into people's psychology, and naturally know the reasons for their "evil spirits" and comfort them appropriately. So witches have cured many women with psychological problems by hypnosis and witchcraft, among which witches and wizards are their "psychologists".

Three, to get rid of superstition, from a personal point of view, need to do:

(1) Master scientific knowledge. Science is a powerful weapon to overcome superstition. To get rid of superstition, we must first arm ourselves with scientific knowledge, which can help people overcome ignorance and move from spontaneity to consciousness.

(2) Take part in amateur exercise. Such as physical exercise, ballroom dancing, fishing, playing chess, piano, calligraphy and so on. Amateurs can not only cultivate temperament, enrich life, but also resist the erosion of superstitious activities, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

(3) Take an active part in social activities. Many people's superstitious psychology is produced after experiencing setbacks, and psychological support and help are filled through superstition. Socialization can make people find psychological support and psychological relaxation quickly.

This question is actually of no discussion significance.

If you have time, you can search. Edison, Newton and other physics giants also believe in ghosts and gods. Why? Because of many things, science can't explain! !

In 2008, my cousin died in a car accident, and everyone in the same car was fine, except her.

Then I went to see a fortune teller. At first, I didn't tell the fortune teller that my sister was dead. After giving the birthday, the fortune teller asked, "Everyone has left." We were shocked! !

Then he asked, "Did something happen when you went to the south?" God, that's so accurate!

Then he told us that when we went back to our hometown, there was a killing knife in the southeast corner, buried in the soil. After digging it out, we took it to the crossroads, took paper money or something, burned it and sent the ghost away.

I really dug a knife in the southeast corner of the yard when I went back! !

Do you think this kind of thing can be explained scientifically?

It seems that the subject knowledge is not much, and there are some diseases, but they are not diseases, and doctors just can't cure them. This gives superstition a credible opportunity. Let's give a simple example. Children under the age of twelve are virtually confused and can't afford to sleep for a long time. You go to the hospital. Ten doctors can't see them. Because of what? I'm not sick, and I can't find it in the examination. I just didn't wake up all day, in a daze. But if you use superstitious methods, you will get immediate results without taking medicine or injections. Children can be alive and kicking and play awake. I won't talk about the method here. It seems a little superstitious. It is estimated that no one who has read this article has experienced it and heard of it. This disease, as well as children crying at night, is difficult to treat or even incurable in the hospital. Who can tell whether it is superstition or illness? Now that science is so advanced and medical equipment is so advanced, there is nothing we can do.

Modern medicine is so developed! Have you studied everything in the world thoroughly? Even the most basic composition, function and consciousness of the human body are not understood! What is science? What is superstition? Can cancer be completely cured? Can AIDS be completely cured? Can rheumatism be cured? Can people live forever ... science can't solve it, let alone superstition.

Not superstitious. That makes sense. Certification accumulated over thousands of years. There is scientific basis. Sulfur can disinfect the air, and mercury can prevent corrosion. This is an indisputable fact. How clever the ancient ancestors were.

What can be explained is science, and what cannot be explained is superstition. When everyone thought that the earth was square, some people said that the earth was round, so he was executed. Because he is superstitious and deceitful. With further development, it is proved that the earth is round, so it is not superstition. We can't explain many things now, so he is superstitious. Let me give you a simple example. Many children are frightened and have a fever and a cold. It doesn't matter if they go to the hospital or take medicine or injections. There is a kind of soul-calling thing in civil use. Just call it later. This is what many families have encountered. Do people have souls? Are controversial, but many people can feel it. When everyone has a member who dies, whether it is a few days at that time or in 3757, it is very important. If you don't admit the existence of the soul, why spend so much effort to repair the monument and move the grave? How did Feng Shui come out? People die like lights go out. I recommend you to read a book written by a Tibetan guru. Tibetan life and death book. It's definitely an authoritative work. To put it bluntly, geomantic omen is now called architectural environmentology. Also known as environmental architecture, it is not without his reason. Your living environment should be spacious and transparent in front, with buildings and mountains behind. There are roads and water around, which is good feng shui, and the four spirits also show these things. You don't need to know anything about Feng Shui. There are tall buildings in front to suppress you from seeing the sun, and the back is empty and desolate, okay? Sunshine and air. Where there is no convection between sunlight and air for a long time, the first feeling you come into contact with is gloom. Therefore, some things should not be completely denied. Many people have bad dreams. I was worried again and it happened the next day. Is this superstition? There are many things produced under Zhouyi. Eight characters and six hexagrams, etc. , have a complete theoretical system. Speaking of home, we rely on these complete theoretical systems to calculate and predict. But some people are superstitious and say that they are possessed by ghosts and gods, and they don't even know what they are doing. They play the fool and cheat people out of their money. There are many such people, gods and women. There is nothing but burning incense and kowtowing. This is the real superstition.

In essence, superstition is not directly related to the development of medicine.

Superstition was left to us by our ancestors. In a sense, it has penetrated into our bone marrow and branded in our genes.

For example, everyone may have experienced it: when your child has been crying or sick, you will definitely say, has this child lost his soul?

For another example, especially friends who have lived in the countryside will know such gossip: there will be a "god man" who can pinch and calculate nearby.

In fact, until now, whenever a child with dopamine is unwell, the elderly at home will ask "ghosts and gods."

Don't say that children will get such "special care" even if dopamine itself is sick.

For example, some time ago, dopamine always felt a dull pain in the liver area, and the old mother asked ghosts and gods in her own way for the first time after learning about it.

This practice of my old mother is superstitious, but I didn't stop her, because I knew it was a way for her to take care of her family, and because I knew I couldn't change my old mother's deep-rooted "worldview".

This is not so much superstition as a belief or psychological activity of the old mother.

Secondly, although modern medicine seems to be developed, it is still helpless against human diseases.

With the present medical means, we can only cure most diseases occasionally.

When modern medicine can't do anything about our diseases, when seriously ill patients are desperate, they will naturally think of ways other than science: superstition or religion.

These are human nature, human instinct.

I just want to emphasize that in the early stage of illness, we should first go to a regular hospital for medical treatment. We should not stop treatment and get on the right track because of these superstitious activities. Of course, we shouldn't spend a lot of money on such superstitious activities.

To change this situation, we need not only to greatly improve our medical technology, but also to spend a lot of energy to improve our thinking.

I think it may take at least a few hundred years.

It depends on how you define superstition.

Some people's one-month-old children cry at night and write a sign "I panicked,

My family cried all night ... "

This is a standard superstition, but it is said to be very useful.

Get to the point, look:

Many years ago, my neighbor (next door) lived with an old man in his fifties. He lets the cows go out early and come back late every day. The key is a pile of grass. It was not that simple to eat old grain and burn old grass in those years. The key is that there is a big jujube tree in his yard. When no one is around, the trunk is full of weasels.
