How can we make the elderly at home not superstitious about cows, ghosts, snakes and gods?

No matter which country it is, it has its corresponding mythological system, which can be regarded as a kind of belief of people. However, some people excessively promote myths for their own benefit, causing the people to fall into superstition. Especially in rural areas, many people have not received knowledge, and they are very superstitious about "cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods".

We must make them believe in science from the perspective of life, so as not to let superstition affect their lives.

1. Don't let the elderly learn science

Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, many things can be solved by scientific methods, but some old people are backward in their thinking and always retain their old ideas. Especially for the superstition of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, it has even affected his own life. At this time, we should not let the elderly believe in science, because it is too difficult for them to learn science at their age.

Children can't listen to what they say, let alone learn anything else. We must patiently persuade the elderly, tell them the truth of some things, and let them understand that superstition is wrong. Fundamentally get them out of superstition and believe in science.

2. Let them form their own beliefs

Everyone has their own beliefs, and the belief of the superstitious old man is the cow, ghost, snake and god. They don't know about science, they think that only God can help them solve things, and when they don't want to solve problems in the face of difficulties, they know to burn incense and worship Buddha. In fact, this is also a disapproval of oneself, or a habit developed since childhood.

At this time, we need to let them re-establish their beliefs and let them understand society and themselves. Faith can be many things, such as a person, a book, an idea, etc. According to the situation of the elderly, we should choose the right faith for them, so that they can start a new chapter in their lives.

3. Let them understand real life

The reason why these old people are superstitious is because they don't know much about life, and they don't understand the current state of society at an advanced age. For example, when we are sick, we think about seeing a doctor, and they know to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Tell them stories, such as diseases and doctors, to get them interested in life, and over time they will get rid of superstitious thoughts.

Take the elderly out for a walk more, see more and naturally have a wider horizon, and chat with the elderly more if they have nothing to do, so that the life of the elderly is richer, and there is no spare time to think about these things.

You can give him some examples, subtly tell him to stop believing them, explain the stakes to him, and they will no longer be obsessed.

I think you can use science to verify some superstitious claims, so that the old man can see that there are no cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the world, and they can all be explained by science.
