Niño Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 [align=center]Luck. Do you beleive in it? I prefer not to, I beleive if you want something enough and truley beleive it you will accomplish it. But I can't help but get little quirks where I think "ah! If I walk from here to there in 10 seconds luck will come upon me and this will happen." What about you?[/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveHorizon Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Luck is entirely based on individual perspective. What may seem "lucky" to one person may be "unlucky" to someone else. If you get good luck, then later that good luck is the cause of something bad, was the initial luck really good or does it change to having been bad luck? I feel that luck isn't an actual thing, just a title assigned to coincidental occurrences based on the perceived outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niño Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Okay, so if I got $100,000,000 and you did aswell, you would consider it to be unlucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveHorizon Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 No, since I feel getting money is good, I would call it "good luck". Doesn't mean it was necessarily good or lucky. What if you later found out it was blood money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niño Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Fair enough, that was just sort of a troll comment. Okay, true, what one person may consider to be lucky another may unlucky, but the majority of the simple things that happen to us in everyday life that we percive as good means that if it happened to one in a majority. it would be considered as lucky, as humans we have a generalisation on what we consider good and bad, if the good thing happens to us "boy I got lucky" but if the bad thing happens to us, we got unlucky. Few consider it to be unlucky when the majority vote of the good thing happens to us, so I am talking from the majority perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveHorizon Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Point. I do agree with using the term/phrase. Like if I almost die; if it's a near-death experience that just misses me, I'd say that's unlucky, since I almost died. But if I was saved from death, not by it just missing me but by a random factor that wouldn't usually have occurred, I'm all "Holy sh*t, that was lucky!" It all depends on the... rarity, or unlikeliness, of the event. I guess it comes down to what each person would call it themselves. Hmm, how about a formula?Perceived unlikely good event = Lucky. Perceived unlikely bad event = Unlucky. I just don't see "luck" as an actual force at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aximil Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I'm an extremely lucky person. I leave most things up to a flip of a coin, a roll of a die, or some other form of random choosing. Ever seen the show called "Deal or No Deal"? I would guess a case while watching it and 9/10 times it would be the one that contains the $1,000,000 dollars. A very high majority of the time my luck ends up being good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Sometimes I rely on my luck if I'm taking a huge term final when I don't know what to do. But other than that, I don't rely on it much but doesn't mean I don't rely on it sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e.x.l.t. Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I don't believe in luck...

DARKPLANT RISING Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Luck is something human created as an explanation of when things get really good for them. I don't believe in luck. For instance, let's say you were said by a diviner "You are going to have good luck". Then you go to a train. You arrive at the train station just as the train goes away. However, several minutes later another train, this time something that seems faster than the other one, comes, and you go on. However, actually it would have been faster if you had gone on the first train whatsoever. This is bad luck that you mistake as good luck. Luck does not exist.

Aibara Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I've got only one thing to say:As Alexander, the Great said: "Luck helps those who are brave..."And, even if we don't know it, we are, all, brave... And, yes, I think luck exists. But the reasons the others said were good.( for ex. "Kenta, The Forbidden One"s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
