the voodoo superstition
the voodoo doll was in fashion for a while.. more for its decorative nature rather than its religious reasons.. i was in possession of one of those as a gift from a fren.. and out of superstition, i wanted to keep it on my phone as a lucky charm for the 2 impt results that were to be released during the week.. juz out of the simple hope that it would perhaps bring me some luck, i realised that one out of the 2 wands it was holding on to went missing the day before the release of the results..never really thinking that the wands signified anything, i started to get paranoid that it might be a sign.. owing to my great imagination.. the star was gone, the heart remains.. what did that mean? the good news was that i had only a span of one day to worry before the conclusions were delivered..
the first moment of truth came.. no matter how prepared one was to lose, the story is different when the moment strikes.. i would be lying if i said it didn't demoralise us.. or it didn't matter.. i was perhaps the only one who really showed it.. but i believe it affected the rest no less than it did to me.. while we all tried to encourage each other to pick ourselves up and look at what we have gained, i came to realise that what we have gained were all in front of us.. of course, we never regretted any one idea we proposed.. and any one idea that was brought to reality..
the sky was crying hard.. i was thinking a lot that day.. about the process.. abt my reaction.. i realised how much i hated to lose only then.. i prob talked the day away.. to all we bothered to listen.. i stared at my voodoo doll.. and knew it was all my superstition at work.. the reality lies as the reality.. and no amount of voodoo dolls will do the job..
didn't noe wad to feel with a brain and body that's extremely tired, i coincidentally chanced upon the release my the other result from the person himself.. and this time.. it was a result of favourable nature.. i stared at my voodoo doll again, looked at the wands remaining, and started to wonder about superstition..
perhaps a purely coincidental result.. and when humans draw their own interpretations to find the relationship out of imagination, that idea is powerful.. well for me, i took off the voodoo doll immediately and kept it in my drawer.. at least i could stay away from accounting every other event to the 50% lucky charm..
