I have a question.

1. Do you believe in luck?

2. Is there such a thing as good or bad luck to you?

3. What controls luck?

haha, it's not controversial. haha.

**Valigarmander** · 11-14-2008, 09:33 AM

1. No.

2. No.

3. Nothing.

I believe in random chance, but no mystical "luck" force. So by extension, while there are good & bad luck situations, they had nothing to do with who you are or what you did. If something controlled luck, it wouldn't be luck.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

1. Luck is random chance. So yeah, it exists, but not in the sense that some people get the better possibility more often than others.

2. In one time occasions, yes. But you aren't going to have good or bad luck through multiple chances. If good things constantly happen to you, you're probably making good decisions and vice versa.

3. Like I said, it's random. Nothing controls it.

1. By definition, no. But I do seem to be on the bad end of it a lot lately.

2. See above.

1. Luck is Random chance

2. in the sense that a long string of negative or positive results can happen, yes. breaking a mirror won't do **** though.

3. random chance. and reality warping 4-leaf clovers.

Luck is the goddess that only visits those that don't pray to her.

I ****ing hate luck.

I ****ing hate it.

I feel like I have to be in perfect control of everything I do.

It may or may not exist, but I hate it.

Also, I dislike Gambling and/or chance games.

Depends on how you're defining luck. Certainly, highly unpredictable, uncontrollable things can happen that result in either positive or negative things happening. I don't really believe that luck is a sort of mystic force that can be manipulated with charms or anything, though.

In the same way, if I were to lable anyone "lucky" or "unlucky" they would mostly be terms I'd use to describe a tendancy in things that had already happend to that person.
