All of us hope for luck. In fact, each culture developed its own icons of luck: the Irish with leprechaun, the Chinese with bamboo sticks, Italians with fountains, and Americans and the ever-famous lady of luck.
Yet, many questions simply cannot help but to arise in such an occasion. Is luck the only drive that keeps us moving forward? Moreover, is bad luck really that bad?
A few years back a friend of mine asked me about my life and how did I get to where I am today. To him it was luck, yet, to me it was God's care, for my life was not all good luck. At certain times, it was filled vicious attacks of stinking bummers!
There is this Arabic saying "تأتي الرياح بما لا تشتهيه السفن", which literally translates into that wind does not always blows in the direction of one's sailing.
Life's unfairness is not a bad thing, although at that point we just can't help thinking so. However, bad luck may benefit us in our life more than good luck ever will. It would push us to refuse to sit still and accept reality as it is. In fact, it pressures us to accelerate with the creation of our reality, the way we like it.
As a leprechaun in one of Charmed episodes once said "Bad luck helps people just as much as good luck, may be, even more so, for it is out of adversity that people learn and grow."
With that note, I greet you good night!
Oh yeah....... and GOOD LUCK! ;)
