It doesn't. It's just that we notice unlucky (or painful) events more than lucky (or joyful) ones, which we take for granted. We perceive patterns that aren't there because we look for them, and only notice the bold stuff and not the background. In your everyday life you are fortunate to have food, water, friends, a PC!, and countless other things, including a newtwork of complete strangers to whom you can ask questions. Unless you have had a very tragic life (if so, I'm sorry) these things must outweigh the bad. Count all of these and you'll see you're actually very lucky.

Luck is based on success and failure. Those are historical events, hence it always follows you like asadow because you have to look back to make the evaluation, "Was I lucky? or not?"

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
