Do you know "mitos". This is an indonesian word. Mitos is a blind trust without science verification, more a believing than a reality.Many people in Indonesia still embrace about mitos, although now we live in era of science, computer and internet.
History of mitos is related to the old culture. There are many mitosin Indonesia. I try to explain some of them :
>> Don't go to something place like some beach, zoo, etc, with your boyfriend/girlfriend cause will make both of you fail in love.
>> There are many abstinence for you when your wife is pregnant like don't fishing, don't sewing, don't drink peanut milk, don't eat orange fruit, don't drink cold water (ice water), don't eat spicy food, etc.
>> New year is the dangerous moment, so be carefull when you take a trip
>> Moslem new year ( 1st of Muharram ) is a consortium day, don't take an activity at this moment, danger.
>> etc, many other mitos.
I rather like not to believing mitos, because it's so difficult to understanding.
Everything in the earth is created by God, the ultimate power.There is nothing happen in the world without known by God, everything is under control of God power.
I mean, there is no power than God power and i rather believing to God than mitos in everything happens.
