Passage 2
Superstitious behavior is difficult to defend in a culture that relies on science to provide most explanations. Indeed, it is foolhardy to wave a magic wand over your sore throat when penicillin has s much better track record. But in most cases, superstitious behavior has no ill effect. In fact, it may even provide psychological benefits. For instance, if a man believes the day will go well if he eats two poached eggs in the morning, then this breakfast provides order, reliability, and even comfort to his day. And it he does happen to have a bad day, he can always blame something other than the eggs.
