do you believe in luck?
is there such thing?

as for me, i don't..i believe that things happen cos they happen- they were meant to happen that way, and not any other, and there's really no luckiness factor involved in anything

i remember back as a kid, i used to believe in all that nonsense, but as i grew older, i realised it didn't matter how many 'good luck' wishes i got from other people, i still sucked in my exams..haha really, the only way i could ever pull my grades up was by studying.. i mean, think of it this way, you don't study a single page of a topic which you're bad at, and you get 1 billion people to wish you 'good luck' before the exam begins, i'm willing to place a wager that you're not getting through with flying colors!

and it's the same with good luck charms, lucky numbers, and all that nonsense- i read this somewhere before- they appear to bring luck to you cos you're wearing those charms or using those numbers all the time! so whenever something good happens, you notice that you're using those lucky things..the next hot girl you see isn't gonna walk up to you and ask you for your phone number just because you're wearing your lucky cap, that train isn't gonna miss you when you're walking on the track cos the train's number is your lucky number 5

there's supposed to be randomness in almost everything, but isn't randomness something we're uncertain of? if we knew what those factors were, they wouldn't be random anymore, and so it's just waiting to be discovered

when things happen, i guess people just want to be able to blame it on something, "curse my luck!" "i'm so lucky to be picked!" etc so they won't appear so proud or stupid, for example

"i'm so lucky! my uncle bought me a car!"
"i'm such a spoilt bastard! my uncle bought me a car!"

"curse my luck! they gave the hardest questions! i failed again!"
"i didn't study enough! i failed again!"

which would you like to say and which do you normally hear people say? exactly!

but then again, it's just my opinion on the silly things people do (did i hear smoking drugs and clubbing? hahaha)

oh and another thing, when i was younger, i was told by a friend (i don't know how true this is) that the word 'luck' was derived from the name 'Lucifer' hrm..that's something to think about
