Cultural Taboos

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to everybody.

There are a few cultural taboos that we are usually heard ;

• sitting on the pillow - will cause a blain at butt
• sitting on stairs - will delayed your marriage
• singing at the kitchen - will marry an old man
• change your place while eating - married with more than one persons.

Do you believe all that things? when I am still children, I believe all that nonsense things. But I confident some of us still believe all that cultural taboos that I have list down above.

So, as a Y generations, I want to correct it and make the people outside there to think rationally.

First, the old people said that if we sitting on the pillow, it will cause a blain at our butt. Actually the reason is we are not polite to sitting on the pillow as we use it to lay our head on it. Then, the old people also said that if we are sitting on the stairs it will delayed our marriage. The reason behind all of this is they afraid if we are falling down while sitting on the stairs.

 Other than that, we are not aloud to sing at the kitchen. I am sure the question 'why I am not aloud to do that?' play in your mind.As a teenager,we are curious to know the meanings behind all of this. Am I right?So now, I would to tell you that the old people does not aloud it because it is a nightmare when your food in the pan BURNT!! Automatically your dishes will taste bad and no want are dare to eat it. Lastly,do you know that we are not aloud to change our place while eating? The old people said that if we change our place while eating, we will marry with more than one person. Behind of this story, actually they afraid if we spill out the food and mess the place. So, they make this nonsense story just to scare us.

So people, do not believe the scary things easily. Think wisely ! but do not blame the old people because all of what they said, they are for  our own goodness.
