LUCK<br />

There is a rumor going around that luck is making a come-back as an<br />

explanation for the circumstances and conditions of one’s life. It<br />

certainly can contribute to minimizing the confusion and the guilt we<br />

may feel – and be an appealing place to go when everything seems to be<br />

going the wrong way, as in, what the hell just happened?<br />

There are certainly cases where I would much prefer to attribute certain<br />

things happening to bad luck! In truth though, when push comes to<br />

shove and retrospection induced, I can usually find the reason for<br />

whatever my challenge might be, right square in the first mirror that I<br />

come across.<br />

Still, the subject has been raised! The question of, what is the role of<br />

luck in this life that we live? Research has been conducted about the<br />

many superstitions related to luck, including study of the lucky and<br />

unlucky symbols found in Christian, Chinese, Greek, Navajo and other<br />

cultures. Many religions, polytheistic and otherwise have gods and<br />

goddesses of luck.<br />

Also, we know from available literature and legend that it has been a<br />

topic of much speculation, interest and debate for the duration of our<br />

bipedal opposable-thumb existence! So it does cry out for attention here,<br />

and I would be remiss in leaving an important gap unaddressed in my<br />

effort to explain, how life really works, in as comprehensive a manner as<br />

possible.<br />

You hear it expressed in many ways:<br />

“The only luck I get is bad luck.”
