if something is a tradition, doesnt mean it's all the same. Tradition and superstition is not the same. Colorful clothes are signs that a person is(or at least shows that) happy and positive, and that may be a bad gesture at the funerals for the relatives and others. If ppl wore black cause they believe that if they wore yellow the spirit would jump out of the grave and haunt them till death, that would be a superstition. Not looking at pics of late relatives is superstition just like sacrifices to Osiris. There are tribes that still practice cannibalism and human blood sacrifices, that doesn't mean you have to be a cool 21st century "allequal" dummy and respect that. Some ppl have to upgrade from their pseudo-spiritual mumbo jumbo. Every tradition has to be analysed not blindly taken for granted. Its all the same as friday 13 story or Stalin not making eye contacts with photographers, cause he thought they could voodoo him using the pics.
