I was on the train this morning thinking to myself as I usually do and I was thinking about how lucky I’ve been lately.
I remember a few years back thinking the same thing and lucky things seemed to have shown up again for me. Granted they are totally explainable such as a pay rise or getting a hot girlfriend. But it could also be seen as luck, like not dying from something when you could have.
Then I started thinking, if someone is lucky all the time, could that be an indicator of a shorter life?
Hear me out on this.. imagine you have a luck quota for your life and say by some force your life span has already been determined, so if you have a short life span determined, life will cram all that luck into that time. I don’t really believe it myself but it was something I was thinking, so if my and Rob die in an airplane accident on the way to Germany, my theory was correct ok? What do you guys think?
I think there is no such thing as luck.
I’m a luck Master. I think luck is just a general free pass to not get smashed up, if it wasn’t for luck, I’d just be a smear on the side of a ravine.
Yeah Zach, like you and Rob were both in car accidents. Lucky.
You just need a luck powerup then.
Thinking things are just about to go horribly wrong when things are going well is just normal human stuff :) Enjoy Bitfilm :)
Well, that’s kinda contradictory. I mean, if you’re lucky, then you can’t die, and if your luck runs out and you die in an accident, well someone is going to say that you were unlucky regardless.
Sounds like it would make good film.
Scuse me. *Flee*
The thought of that our lives are already written from the start to the end is horrible to me. I want to chose what I want to do and then do it.
I believe luck and forces similar to it, if they exist, have balance. The whole balance idea is in multiple cultures for millennia so its not an improbable concept. But the” short life span= more luck per year” idea falls flat when you think of small children or babies. Only if your perception of luck changes would it apply to them. Examples: “That seven year old was lucky to be ignorant of adulthood.” “That child was lucky to have even lived”, You get the the depressing “it could have been worse,” idea. If luck is relative though it could still work until you have the most horrible cases of cruelty to people.
I feel strange about lucky things occurring to myself but long since wrote it off as my mind attempting to find a pattern to life. Humans like patterns, they make things simpler. Btw, that’s how the concept of a God came about; we wanted a reason and pattern.
I think luck is something you get for the good things you’ve done in the past, present and future. What I don’t like to think about is what applies the force.
Hm, your theory is pretty good. Let’s assume, that lLately I had no luck, I was fired out of my job (let’s say “management restruction”), I had to dump my gF because she was a cheater, etc., etc. Does that mean that I’m gonna live longer? “What’s not gonna kill you, will make you stronger”? Hm… I’d like rather have like luck like yours and die at 50, instead of being mostly unlucky, have luck from time to time living 120 years… :)
Yeah Holek, though lucky things would happen, just not as often if your determined lifespan is longer.
Dear Rob,
If you die on the plane, can I have your job at BioWare?
Love,
Slick.

lolwut. :|
If robert dies i call the computer.
“What do you guys think?”
– I think you shouldn’t think too much. :o)
yeah michael, i dont think its very healthy thinking tbh. I feel that i get lucky all the time, but maybe its something ive deserved (like getting in to the school i want to, or get to do something i didnt think i could do before). I think luck is part of what you choose in life and what you do with that. So luck is self-controlled mabe? dunno, just throwing it up…
