Why are people superstitious?

People are superstitious for many reasons. One is that superstition comes from ignorance. Most people in ancient times were superstitious, and many bizarre phenomena could not be explained, so there were myths and legends and superstitions. Nowadays, the old people still retain the remnants of feudal superstition, which is reflected in worshipping Buddha, fortune telling, geomantic omen, marriage and so on. Nowadays, many young people also have fortune-telling, marriage-watching, Buddha worship and so on. Most of them just seek psychological comfort, spiritual sustenance and dependence, or go to god for fortune telling in order to achieve their wishes, similar to the wishes made after watching the meteor shower; Now Buddhism, Islam, Catholicism and so on. Some are regarded as the state religion; This situation is only to preserve historical and cultural heritage, and it can also be called pseudo-superstition, not really ignorance and superstition, but to preserve cultural traditions; With the advent of the scientific and technological revolution, people have a systematic understanding of science, many foolish superstitions have been broken, and people's minds have been liberated as never before; But there are many strange phenomena in reality that science can't explain. Some people say it is science or underdevelopment. With the continuous development of science, I believe many things will be explained.
