This concept quite diverges from the conventional superstition-beliefs. The following word is coined to throw light onto the dynamical nature of beliefs concerning superstitions.

Consider, a black cat crossing one's path, which is considered a bad-luck in the US, which on the contrary is a good-luck in the UK. Even the intensity of this belief varies based on the cruciality of the task to be carried out. Per se, if someone is going for an interview for which he/she has prepared with all their heart and it is quite important to crack it, they wouldn’t risk going along the same path crossed by a black cat (US). However, with a trivial task, not taking the same path would be less rigorously thought upon. Is this quite frequently observed/ experienced, let me know what do you guys think?
