Although accepting the value and credibility of reason is an essential condition for traversing the path of humanity, with this measure, the path of rationality does not become smooth. Because ambiguities and mistakes are usually more about defining and recognizing irrationality and superstition than about reason itself.
Some consider propositions incompatible with their religious beliefs as superstitions; some drive away with the stick of superstitions anything that is not within reach of sensory experience; another group calls supporters of any strange thing superstitious, and some consider superstition equivalent to accepting incorrect beliefs.
But none of these definitions is accurate. Because followers of the most exclusivist schools are forced to officially recognize different beliefs. Just as the most materialist people have also accepted realities that they once considered irrational, strange, and incorrect.
This point shows that being superstitious has no definition other than being content with perceptions and knowledge and ignoring criticisms and opposing arguments, and someone who has discovered this secret seeks rationality not in avoiding errors but in the effort to know more and live better.
