Are You Lucky?

[Theland]

Do you believe in good and bad luck?
Rabbits foot, lucky charm, lucky number etc?
Don't walk under a ladder, let a black cat cross your path, remember Apollo 13?

Or anything else?

[Tilly2]

Do you mean superstitious?

[Mamyalynne]

I'm not overly superstitious but I won't allow anyone to open an umbrella indoors.

Just an inbuilt memory I guess.

[woofgang]

I am alive and in good health touching wood and not poor. I'd call that lucky.

[ummmm]

No...I'm not superstitious.

[Theland]

Lucky numbers on the lottery?

[Mamyalynne]

No.

[Bobbisox1]

I think I’m lucky with my health , happiness and we don’t struggle money wise, not rich but enough for our needs, a few things I don’t do ,like walking under a ladder and I always like to see more than one magpie but that’s about it

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah, if I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all.

[MartinMillar]

Yes I am very lucky, I have some great friends some I met on here.
I met my husband as a teenager and have been together ever since.
I have a fantastic step family.
So yes I consider myself lucky

[Theland]

Me too ∆∆∆∆

This was one of the best books that I have read on 'luck'
Amazon.com User Recommendation
(written by a materialist, atheist psychologist....so maybe not your cup of tea) Still a good psychological study of why some people seem to be lucky and why others seem to attract misfortune

[retrocop]

As some say. You make your own luck. I have no great expectations either way and take what comes. If I get cancer then it is my bad luck I suppose. If a skilled oncologist and his team cure me then I am lucky to find them. In general I believe God helps them who help themselves.

[Theland]

That sounds interesting.
Have often met people who swear by their lucky beliefs and ceremonies,

[MartinMillar]

Oh Theland I forgot a job I love

[Denton]

I don't believe in luck but think some people need it now and again.!!

[pastafreak]

No, not superstitious...but I won't walk under ladders. Mostly because it seems safer.

[nailit]

Do you believe in luck Theland?
Not after a religious debate here, straight forward question.

I dont believe in luck...
''there's nothing good or bad except thinking makes it so''
(Some obscure Shakespear verse, dont know which one...I'm not that lucky) ;-)

[Robinia]

I don't win things and I'm not particularly superstitious but I think I'm very lucky in many ways.
I do carry certain small items, not as good luck charms, more reassurance tokens.

[Mamyalynne]

Hamlet to Rosencrantz.

HAMLET

Why, then, ’tis none to you, for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. To me it is a prison.

[Theland]

Luck, fate, blessed?

Yes I am ''lucky'' in that respect. Always get by, always others worse off.

Not into lucky symbols, charms, numbers etc
