What is the height of superstition?
I could muster one of such. Just slaughter a black goat on tarmac of an airport and one get away with bad omen of plane crash. This is what aviation authorities doing their bit in Pakistan. A very strange news that too when world is heading for twenty first century & life is experiencing subtle change off to technological advancement. Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) after a recent crash of one of its flights in the hills near abbotabad, sacrificed a black goat to ward off bad omen on runway before an ordained flight to Multan. Will slaughtering a goat on the tarmac of airport for divine intervention keep the agency's flights safe?
Though this video went viral on the media and received backlash, still big question surrounds everyone's minds that how an act of sacrificing goat can save us from bad omen. We need to understand that our own casual bent of mind and haughtiness cause such mishaps. When we browse through the intricacy of one of the recent air accident in South America killing budding Brazilian football stars, it was found that the airlines had not fueled the airline to the extent required and when it approached the destination, it was short of fuel. Such acts of casual stint give rise to mishaps. We can't count on superstitions to counter casual mistakes of humans resulting in disasters. Specially so with dastardly sacrifice of goats under the pretext of bringing good omen is no solution to it.
The supremacy of God can't be undermined and the power that runs the world still fortify our minds to a greater extent but subduing this faith with such sacrifices understate our internal fear that surfaces with the act even God will not pardon. Why kill innocent speechless creature to substantiate our own whims and fancies of superstitions.
We need to come over age with the changing times and believe in self. We need to do our homework well instead of engaging into the acts that was hounded by millions since ages for no good reason. And mind you, we Indians too emulate such superstitions assiduously.
