The Word ''Curse''

[cacian]

I have been thinking about this for a while now.

1) Do you think the word curse is linked to superstitions?
2) Does it really exist?
and
3) Do the concept of ''KLEPTOMANIA'' in the same as ''MENSTRUATION' (please see beneath)are concepts of the word ''CURSE''

Please discuss.
Thank you for reading.


curse (also called execration) is any expressed wish that some form of adversity or misfortune will befall or attach to some other entity—one or more persons, a place, or an object. In particular, "curse" may refer to a wish that harm or hurt will be inflicted by any supernatural powers, such as a spell, a prayer, an imprecation, an execration, magic, witchcraft, a god, a natural force, or a spirit. In many belief systems, the curse itself (or accompanying ritual) is considered to have some causative force in the result

The word "curse" may also refer to the resulting adversity; for example, menstruation has been described as the "curse of Eve".[1]

1. Yes.
2. Are you asking if the word exists, or if we believe if curses exist? If the former, of course; if the latter, yes.
3. What?

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

Really? Because it seems exactly like something you'd post.

1. Yes.

3. What?

How can you be sure that the curse does exist in modern day living?

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

You asked if the word exists. You used it. It exists.

[cacian]

You asked if the word exists. You used it. It exists.

Obviously the word exists that is not what I am asking.
This is what I mean:
If the word exists does that mean the actual concept of the curse exists?
In other words do people get cursed?

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

Then no, they don't.

[cacian]

Then no, they don't.

OK Mutatis thank you.
