Three times the luck

I guess there's more bad luck out there than I would have believed. Way back in November 2010, and then again in February this year, people asked about bad luck along the lines of this question from Nancy in Canada:

Is it genetics or karma or what that makes a person have continual bad luck?

I'm not sure... are some people just born under a dark cloud?

Smile! Say Cheese!

Becky, from New Zealand, paired the question to the card and asked:

If you could photograph any scene in the world, what would it be?

Simple: a photo of me, smiling, holding a winning lottery ticket!

Don't Exactly Know This Either

Amu from Finland wants to know

What would you do if you won the lottery?

First, I'd make sure that the people I care about are cared for. Then, I might indulge in education... taking all the classes my brain could handle.

On the other hand, there's travel...

On the other, other hand, there's good works...

Didn't Understand It Then; Don't Understand It Now

Silvia, from Italy, asks:

What is the so-called "good luck/bad luck"? For example, why do some great people get deadly diseases and others have a beautiful life when they don't deserve it?

When I first realized that this inequity existed in the world, I was quite young. Now, I'm not quite young, and I still don't get it. Perhaps there's something to the karmic explanation: this life is all about what happened in the last one.

If it weren't for bad luck

would you have no luck at all?

Heidi, from Finland wonders...

Why do some people have better luck in life than others?

I wish I knew.
