lady luck
There is a whole swirl of ideas going in my head as to whether we can affect our luck or not. By luck I mean the occurrence of events, not the current belief about luck, roulette-style…
I just lost a game of Risk (The Lord of the Rings version, real cool, my preciousss) at one point I had an ant-farm of soldiers on one country and I lost!!! My loosing odds were 9:1!!! And it didn’t stop there, I went on loosing and loosing at odds that were worse than you standing on a highway abandoned for sixty years and then a car passing and crushing you…I hated it
I know that thoughts go out as energy…if you think about something you can make it happen (hence the ubiquitous sayings in all languages going around: if you’re scared of the monkey you WILL get it)
Can we affect our luck/the happenings of events? Is it true that if you look at life positively it DOES become positive – drop the argument that says “you can look at things in either a positive or negative way – I’m talking about the things that are inarguably negative, LIKE LOOSING A FREAKIN’ RISK GAME…
I wonder...
Conclusion – if I meet Lady Luck -it should be lady luck, no capitals, she don’t deserve that- in any parallel of universe, I’m slitting her throat.
Goodnight.

Hmmm... Could it be a mix of luck and the self-fulfilling prophecy? Maybe we let ourselves down by putting an end result in our heads prematurely and therefore we inadvertently steer ourselves right where we didn't want to be!?
I NEVER lose at board games so I have NO idea what you're talking about. And if I feel my luck might be running out while playing, I preempt my defeat by scaring the living daylights out of my fellow players with my OCD competitiveness. So then I either end up winning because I scare them into messing up their strategy, or they let me win because they are scared of what I might do if I lose. Either way, I WIN! Always works... :)
interesting strategy! looking at my usual "Risk" buddies: a 240 pound 190cm german, a 200 pound 185cm american and a 165 cm 170 pound lebanese, i'll come third at best :-D
