Guest guest Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Here's my take on luck. Luck does not exist ... not good luck and not bad luck. Everything is a result of circumstances mixed with effort and the balance of the Universe. The thing is to look for the good in everything that happens, even the disastrous things that happen, and to learn from every good thing and to forge on. So am I lucky? I cannot say yes and I cannot say no. Do I invest myself completely in those things that touch my life. Absolutely. If this means that others think I am lucky, then so be it. I think I am probably far too stubborn for anyone to ever dare call me lucky in any sense of the word. But do I think people give too much weight or credence to the concept of bad luck or good luck? You bet I do. It's like believing in curses. I do not believe in curses. No one has the ability to curse me safe the one who made me and that would be Great Spirit. And since Great Spirit does not go around cursing his people made of clay, then I am safe from any curse that may be thrown in my general -- or specific -- direction.

I think there are some people for whom things seem to go right and those who for things seem to go wrong and I'm sure a small percentage of these just have good or bad luck, 'luck' meaning that's just how things go. But I think there are factors, whether seen or unseen, that go into it. I do wonder if there is something more than just how things go or how you influence your environment. It seems like a person who is at a certain level of negativity or downtroddenness has things go worse for them. I've noticed that with others and myself. Almost like there's a certain threshold and if you can just meet that threshold or rise above it you will be okay, barring disasters. That being said, I used to consider myself very unlucky to the point where the irony of my life put me on a different level--I felt completely out of the world others were living in. That actually helped me just be me with no expectations except where the world was demanding of me and I was, unfortunately, failing. I finally was able to raise myself up enough to get on a level where things began to work okay for me. I will say that though a lot of it was my downtrodden state in life due to what cards I was dealt, so to speak, that was hard to overcome, as well as being Aspergers, there were also bad forces working against me and good forces working for me which shaped events in different stages of my life. Whew, this is difficult to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
