Surely there is no such thing? It can't be measured, counted or weighed.
So isn't 'bad luck' just an error of judgement ?
You take a risk and lose gas nothing to do with luck, it's a bad judgement call


I don't think it can always be 'an error of judgement' Rehab, though more often than not it is.

Not all accidents are bad judgement surely.
What if you are driving fast and some one crashes in to your car? That would be an unforseen event - not bad judgement wouldn't it?
And what if you were jumping out of a plane, parachute OK,
floating down minding your own business - and you got struck by lightening? How is that 'an error of judgement'?

Can't think of any more at the moment.

Mups that would be an "Act of God".... at least that is what the life insurance company would call it

Re: Anti chance

Cass, but that's you!
Some people are just happy for the quiet life and don't need to take risks to get thrills!
It doesn't mean that they are not fulfilled or have failed.

Im not saying that everyone has to be a thrill seeker but people shouldnt knock it just as a quiet life isnt always a wasted one a fast short life isnt either. I dont believe in god or reincarnation I believe we get one go at this ...one chance one life so best to enjoy it dong whatever you want rather than conforming and dying of boredom.
