Indian Superstition

In the Indian culture, mostly everything that is done or not done is due to a superstition. For example, walking over someone, even if they are lying on the ground is supposedly one of the worst sins u can commit. It ranks just under the butchering of a cow, murder, and infidelity. A superstition I would like to talk about is playing with money can end in the loss of your money.

Money is considered very valuable, not in a materialistic way, but also in a religious way. Being a polythesistic religion, there is a Goddess of money. It is said, playing or gambling with your money will result in loosing that money, and having a severe blow to your financial stability. I have yet to see it happen, but then again I dont gamble yet, and the only way I play with money is flipping a coin. I don't know if this is true, but my grandparents scold me whenever they may even think I am playing with money. I want to obey my grandparent's wishes, but at the same time, I guess you never learn until it happen you.
