Luck.. why is luck such a bugger to contemplate. If i have bad luck... should I expect good luck to follow? or more bad luck? If someone has good luck...does the world function like the "mint card" adverts tell us and someone else somewhere else balances the good luck by receiving bad luck?
I think our analysis of our own luck is an entirely subjective reflection of our mood and our psyche. or looking at the other side of the coin..our mood/state will determine our actions and movements which can evolve into scenarios perceived to be Lucky or Unlucky. SO where is the source and how do we interpret good or bad luck. #
por ejemplo... a bird poo's on my head...(and yes it did... last friday...i was alone in the street on the way to the gym and upon the mortifying realisation, i had to take my gym towel out of my bag and wipe my head in the middle of La Latina's busy tourist hub..the shame!!) ..so this darn bird ... is this really a sign of good luck as we seem to uphold in england or should we accept that there really is no good that can come out of being chosen as a bird's load dropping target. Other than the 1 in a million chance that Gael Garcia Bernal should be passing and save me by offering his hankerchief (and his body).
I would like to think that we can be optimistic about most situations and see the good out of our circumstances. However I can't help feeling that the reason I had so much "bad luck" recently was so let someone else (dad) have some good luck!... call me insane!
I don't think there’s a luck distributor hiding in the trees in the forest wearing a big important hat or anything.. in fact I’m more toward the opinion that we bring the good and the bad upon ourselves.
I was given a book once about this way of thinking.. "the secret".. i never finished it though for the fear of taking it too seriously and ruling my life by listening to the thoughts in my head. As charlotte in sex and the city says.. if we listened to every voice in our head we'd go insane!...
I don't wish to come to any profound conclusion... its in fact rather irritating to think about after a while. +ve and -ve... would one exist without the other? or shall they continue to live and rise their heads together in oxymoronic harmony!?
