because it is a good thing to believe in, better good than bad luck, it is optimistic, it takes some of responsibility off the person, it is a social habit, it is a belief when all else seems to fail, because there is such a thing as luck: the external, uncontrolable events which happen despite us, unknown to us and which may finaly conveine to help us.

I think we do because we want to have something to hope for. Hope is such an important thing, and if you don't have it, then you have nothing. The concept of good luck gives us hope that what we desire will come to us because we're carrying a rabbit's foot, or because we found a penny on the ground. Conversely, bad luck is important because it gives us something to blame our misfortunes on.

People like to feel like there are reasons for the way things happen the way they do. Never mind that they just happen because you they were there at the right moment in time.
