Best Answer

No.

Superstitions are irrational beliefs held by some people. Most, but not all, have to do with what brings good or bad luck.

There are some that are not really superstitions but common sense which has become part of the folklore of a society.

In addition what one society may believe brings good luck another would disagree.
