Thinking about 'luck.'
What makes some people 'luckier' than others? Why do some people always seem to have such 'good' luck while others always seem to have 'bad' luck? There are lots of aphorisms about luck;
'Luck is the residue of design,'
'The more I practice, the luckier I get,'
'Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.'
'Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.'
One of my favorites is "I believe in luck and fate and I believe in karma, that the energy you put out in the world comes back to meet you."
There's no doubt in my mind that really nasty people seem to wallow in bad luck, unhappy times, or as Thoreau said 'lead lives of quiet desperation.' It must suck to be them.
