    I honestly don't think there is an appropriate answer to this question. With all due respect of course. I really think it is circumstances beyond our control. Some are just prone to good, and some are prone to bad. Or maybe a little of both. LOL

    I this the answer to this questions is going to be very individual. My individual answer is this: We each have the kind of luck that we beleive we have. If you walk around telling yourself that you are unlucky or you have bad luck then odds are you have a more negative attitude towards life and you will truly beleive you have bad luck. I do my best to always be thankful for what I have and generally beleive I am very lucky in life. Bad things will happen to all of us at one time or another but for the most part my life is Good. If you are feeling unlucky try writing down 3 things you are thankful for every day and see if it helps bring on a more positive attitude and therefore better "luck." Oh and I wish you Good Luck!

    I believe it's the negative engergy we give out through our magnetic field. A lot of stress may also influence our decisions and actions making it seem like there's good or bad luck.

      I would appreciate an explanation for the -1 mark. I was under the impression that it's used when someone writes something inappropriate. Am I wrong?

      I am told there are a lot of Trolls who go around marking the -1 on everything "just because" apparently they get a little chill up their leg when they do that or something. I wouldn't pay any attention to it at all. ;-)
