I've tried to focus on the positive when it comes to a Friday the 13th and tip the scales away from fear and over time I consider the day to be a lucky day for me. However it was a bit disconcerting that so many do fear this day according to the link in your post. "According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day, making it the most feared day and date in history. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed. "It's been estimated that [US]$800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day". Could say "what a difference a day makes" LOL
It really is crazy when you think about it. I used to be superstitious but just stopped because it has no logical purpose. Thanks
I liked this passage on the Wikipedia post:
"fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday than on other Fridays, because people are preventatively more careful or just stay home. Statistically speaking, driving is slightly safer on Friday the 13th, at least in the Netherlands; in the last two years"
It is crazy how that works. Makes sense though
When I was a kid, my brother was terrified of Friday the 13th. I had no idea why—to me, then and now, it was just a day with some silly stories people had created to frighten and/or control us—but I sure did take advantage of his fear as only a brother can. haha good times.
Funny. Thanks
I I love that crow!
