I hate certain numbers, but not because of superstition.
Numbers can be both good and terrible, depending on the situation.

As you would know, the 13th of October had passed. Many people does hold a fear toward the number 13. It’s a number that’s commonly associated with bad luck. While there are numbers that I hate, the number 13 isn’t one of them. Unlike people that fear that number, I don’t hold superstition.
When it comes down to the numbers that I hate, the reasons that I hate those numbers would be because of very terrible things that had happened in my life. I would hate certain numbers because of either the specific days that the terrible moments happened, the age that I was when the terrible moments happened, or the age that someone I truly cared about was when they died. Whatever the reasons, my reasons in hating certain numbers is based on truth, not superstition. This doesn’t mean that I don’t believe in supernatural things. I’m not closed-minded. However, I don’t think that bad luck is specifically linked to any particular number. I think that bad luck, as well as good luck, are things that just happens. I don’t think that luck is biased in any particular way. I consider luck to be one of the most neutral things in life. I had included luck on an earlier article that I had made. That article is called ‘The10 most neutral things that can happen in someone’s life’. Luck isn’t something that can be controlled. Curses, on the other hand, would be a form of control.
In conclusion, my hatred toward particular numbers is based on things that are true about my life. Due to the existing proof on why I hate certain numbers, superstition wouldn’t be the reason. Enjoy the rest of the year. The End.
