Hokay, so I got a controversial, but hopefully not offending, idea for a topic of discussion.
Does anyone here believe in luck? Good? Bad? If you find a four-leaf clover, it's lucky? If a black cat crosses your path, is it unlucky? Or is it reversed for you? Or do these things have any significance at all?

The reason that I wanna discuss this is because, well, it's July 7th, 2007. Seven is supposedly one of the luckiest numbers. And next Friday is Friday the 13th. I actually like Friday the 13th. My best friend and I consider that our lucky day. In fact, when we both turned fourteen, we were a little disappointed that we weren't the age of our lucky number anymore.

But we got over it.

I think luck and superstition are two different things. As for Luck on its own, it exists because sometimes advantageous things happen.

As for the idea that there are things that influence the amount of luck, I don't really know where I stand. I've seen no proof of it, but I will not break a mirror, walk under a ladder or let the black cat cross me to find out.

I think having luck and not having luck is all in your mind, just like most other superstitions.

If you are constantly looking for good or bad luck you will find it in any way possible. OMG!! I got a string of green lights! What luck. No. You're timing with the lights happened to coincide well. That's not luck, it's life.

Conversely: OMG! I stubbed my toe, my hair looks like s**t, I broke out, I'm out of money, and my tank's almost empty!!! May I refer to the phrase "s**t happens." Seriously. Get over it. You don't have bad luck. You're not special. You're human. Unfortunately, we all have that fleshy flaw!!

haha. Does what I'm saying make sense? I hope I explained it well.
