Do you think people are born unlucky or do you think what they do makes them unlucky?

Answer 1

People are not unlucky or lucky. Good and bad things happen. If you think you are unlucky, you are remembering the bad things--or you are living in a situation where bad things are more liable to happen. If you are depressed, you will probably remember more bad things than good, and consider yourself unlucky instead of depressed.

Answer 2

Absolutley people were born unlucky.

Some people were born with better tools available to them.

For example if any of you were born in impoverished Africa, I would consider you unlucky. (Or a victim of random suckiness. LOL) Things that happen to you can be because of random things like who you were born to, what kind of parents you had. If the odds were stacked against you...then Yes you were unlucky.

Answer 3

There is a systems theory explanation that can partially answer that.



What is Synchronicity? - Also known as "Parallelism"
---- ---- ---- ---- ---



What synchronicity states is that events occur in patterns according
to their meanings.

For example, it is often observed that related events occur in
groups (you know the old saying, bad things happen in threes).

The laws of physics are merely the most superficial manifestations
of that.


The universe can be considered an infinite computer.

It can be described by the systems theory equations:


x' = Ax + Bu
y = Cx + Du


where u is *input,* y is *output,* x is the *state space* variable,
and x' is the *time rate of change* of the state.

This would be expanded into infinite matrix form to model the
physical universe.

(Also known as LTI representation in Linear Systems).


Many people believe that the providence of God is simply Him putting
things where He wants in arbitrary order.

However, He downloads most of His governance to synchronicity, as
things in His order harmonize into a profound law.


As the LTI representation says, the system has both inputs and
outputs.

The inputs are our free-will choices (both good and bad); this also
includes angelic interventions (from both good angels and demons),
and direct miracle performed by God.

The outputs are rewards and punishments, as reward is the good that
we have sent into the system being reflected back upon ourselves,
and punishment is the evil that we have sent into the system being
reflected back upon ourselves.


This also explains the evil that comes into people's lives.

God does not send such evil by a direct act of His, but allows the
system to compute a "result."

If something bad happens to someone, it is *due* to that person as a
result of God's permissive will.

Synchronicity ensures that exactly the right evil comes into a
person's life, that that person needs (for either punishment,
purification, or sanctification).


For example, when we consider the 9/11 disaster (9 is the number of
God's power, and 11 is the number of judgment), every injury that
every person received (of whatever type), the exact type of death
that they experienced, was computed by synchronicity.

No doubt, God's mercy much ameliorated what would be strictly due
as a result of a brute computation.

He would do this by sending His angels in to minister, and He
Himself would perform supernatural miracles, where that was fit.

Answer 4

Both and have a merry christmas and happy new year
Just dont think you are unlucky and you might have some good luck. Count your blessings and you will find that you are lucky.

Answer 5

Both,but it ain't luck. there is no such thing as luck. Karma, actions in thought, word & deed are the cause of all your life circumstances. And your destiny. You are the life of the body, you lived before you had this body and you will live after it is gone. The only thing you take with you at death & birth is your Karma.

Answer 6

Your question implies the idea of Karma. Most traditions referring to Karma also refer to reincarnation. Including the idea of previous births makes the two choices you give us equivalent.

Answer 7

I think people create their own world, at least subconsciously. Then when things start going wrong, they feed into that negative energy and more goes bad.

Answer 8

You have to make your own luck. On very, very rare occasions luck might just happen to you.

Answer 9

"Bad luck born nobly is good luck." Marcus Aurelius, this about sums it up for me.

Answer 10

You attract what comes into your life by what you choose to focus on. Focus on things you call bad and you get more bad. Focus on things you call good and you get more of those instead.
