Triskaidekaphobia | 12/13/2011 |
You know, I'm not one to play into superstitions. Oh, I have them, but I recognize that I have them, and I try not to be swayed by them. Triskaidekaphobia has never been on my list. It's one of those funny ones that you joke about. Fear of a number. How ridiculous is that? And yet, today was an extremely stressful and bothersome day. Was it because it's the thirteenth day of the month? Probably not, but the coincidence is annoying.
I will have to choose to believe that this day was just crappy and would have been crappy no matter what the number count on it was. Days of the month and months of the year are arbitrary designations anyway. Letting something so arbitrary as a date rule your logic and dictate your actions is ludicrous. Of course, at the same time, the arbitrary designation fell on an arbitrary day which arbitrarily went wrong on several levels and by convention and agreement is labeled the thirteenth.
God, I hate coincidences...
