BAKIT maraming pamahiin ang ating mga magulang?
Why do our parents have so many superstitious belief?
Brief Description
A question in my mind since my parents infused lots of superstitious belief in many aspects of our lives which they can’t even explain the rationale behind it.
My Smart Answer
Para maiwasan ang away, sumunod na lang sa mga pamahiin nila. Wala naman mawawala kung susunod tayo. Hindi naman daw natin ikamamatay kung susunod tayo.
To avoid conflict with our parents, we just have to follow those beliefs. Anyway, it will bring no harm to us. Besides it will not even cause death among us if we follow such superstitious belief.

I believe that most of our parents have so many superstitious beliefs, because during their times, there were insufficient researches or studies to prove their claims on certain concern. They believe that the reasons of being sick of family members were caused by not following superstitions. Example: the sick members stepped on the unseen creatures and the said creatures were angered and cast a spell for them to get sick. They should have listened to their parent's advise on apologizing before stepping on anything.
thank you for that wonderful question.... i believe that our elders including that of our parents, have many superstitious beliefs which was inherit from their elders and was pass on the later generation. It has guided them during their early times and must have save them or given them warning from danger and bad luck. Later on it became their standard for everyday life since they think they might have avoided the inevitable. And we, being respectful to our elders and parents, and being a good child of the family, obey the pamahiin. That is all. thank you.
hahhaha sige wag ka sumunod palo ka sa pwet!

kasi yun din nakalakihan nila sa magulang nila kaya na adapt nila hanggang sila na ngyon ung nagsasabi sa mga anak nila anyway para sakin naman wala naman mawawala kung susunod sa pamahiin nasa atin pa din naman. may mga pamahiin na hindi ako naniniwala meron din naman na naniniwala ako.
Ang mga pamahiin ay namana and nakalakihan ng mga magulang natin yan na gusto nila ipass on sa ting mga anak. Dahil sa paniniwala nila dito, isa yan sa nagbigay daan para malagpasan ang mga hamon or maaring magdulot ng panganib sa buhay nila.
Hindi man ako 100% naniniwala sa mga ito sa panahon ngayon pero 100% ang respeto ko sa magulang ko kaya sumusunod ako.. at syempre para tuloy tuloy din ang baon ko nung maliit pako..hehehe
Bukod sa nakalakihan at namana sa mga ninuno, ang kakulangan nang pang-unawa sa "scientific evidence/results" at ang mga "unknown fear" nila na pag di ginawa ng ating magulang ay maaring may mangyaring masama. Kaya minsan tayo mismo, hindi tayo aware na naipapasa rin sa atin ng ating mga magulang ang mga paniniwala/practice na mga ito.
