Default Re: General life questions / observations / random whatever thread

What is the motivation for feeling luckier?

I agree it is a much better attitude than those people who use confirmation bias to argue how unlucky they are and thus why the reason their life sucks is not their fault.

I also find that I have a 3:2 lucky to unlucky memorable event ratio so either I'm lucky or I also use confirmation bias to make myself feel luckier. But being lucky, if I think about it, erodes my desert claim to some of the good aspects of my life so I rather not be lucky.
