Thinking Lucky...

"Think lucky and you'll be lucky" - that's the saying. Quite frankly I've never heard such a festering pile of deluded, idiotic, pointless, pathetic, ridiculous, utterly-stupid, crazy, insane, nonsense bullshit in all my years! So, you're a positive person, and you think that if you think lucky it'll lead to good fortune in the future? I'm going to explain to you now why positivity is just a dream, and negativity is seeing the world the way it is...

I have a theory that positivity was a non-existent energy dreamed up by the first Samaritan to stop people from slashing their wrists; giving people false hope in the seething caldron of darkness and heartbreak that is life. Here, right now, I will justify why there is no reason to feel happy about life for the majority of the people.

So you're happy with your life? Great! You've been fortunate? Awesome! But it was not positive thinking that got you there. Think about the implications of being a positivity thinker and that resulting is positive occurrences. There would have to be a link between your thoughts and some figure of fait-control, i.e, God. Now, I believe in God, but there are many sayings and beliefs that surround the religion that contradict everything about being positive.

We're all told that everything set out before we're born. All the choices we'll make have already been decided - including me writing this and you reading it. This means that God doesn't give you either good or bad luck depending on whether you're positive or negative, because it's all already been written. No matter what your thought process, what will happen in the future is out of your control. Perhaps even your thought process is pre-ordain.

Of course, it's the person who chooses weather to be negative or positive, right? Perhaps not. I mean, think about it. What is the one thing that makes a person positive or negative? It certainly isn't choice - it's life! The life that's been written already by God for you to lead. The life you've lead up until the point of where you're wise enough to distinguish the line between what the world is and isn't - not just the world in general, but you're own little world - is when you become positive or negative. It's so detached from choice at first, you're not even aware of it fully as your own mind and personality has chosen for you. If you've had a good life then you're more likely to think positive; if your life has been a piece of shit (which lets face it, that's exactly what life is), then you're more likely to be cynical.

One thing that'll make you feel even more cynical is the realisation that everyone around you is getting the specific kind of good luck that you dream about, yet you never get this luck. The feeling of how unfair it is when you see their happy faces turns into blood-boiling anger, resulting in you become further negative.

Then there's probability and mathematics to be taken into account. There is almost certainly 100,000,000 people on this planet who think positively and are lucky. The 2 entities however are completely mutually exclusive, which can be seen when you think that there is also another 100,000,000 who think negatively and are quite fortunate. They'll also be 100,000,000 people who think lucky and have terrible luck, and 100,000,000 people who think negatively and have bad luck. It's all to do with Science, Maths, and Universe; therefore it's proven that there is no set rule that people think there is, of positive thinking resulting in good luck. You may be thinking that the Universe has nothing to do with it. Let me explain...

Scientists believe that the Universe is in fact infinite. It has no boundaries, no limits, and simply continues forever. This has profound effects on life, effects that the average person would never dream of.

The sub-atomic particles that make up the universe & the sub-atomic particles that make up our planet are mostly different; however every now and again 2 come along that are twins. In an infinite universe, each particle has to have infinitely many identical twins. To create Earth a certain amount of particles had to be arranged in a certain order. The particles that make up our planet can only be arranged so many different ways before you arrange them once again in the way they are entwined now. True, this is a stunningly big number - but it's nothing compared to another number that has to be taken into account before realising the implications an infinite universe has on positivity.

This number is the amount of particles in the observable universe - a number that dwarfs the amount of particles in our world. To understand an infinite universe you have to find out how many particles are in the observable universe, the amount of particles you could squeeze into the observable universe, and the diameter of the observable universe. The amount of particles in the observable universe is 10 to the power of 118 - a number of biblical proportions. To find out how many particles can fit with within the constraints of the observable universe, we have to make it even bigger - 2 to the power of 10 to the power of 118. Ridiculous! The diameter of the observable universe is 10 to the power of 26 meters (I know, the bloody metric system is the work of Satan). Now, with these 2 figures, all that's left to do is multiply them together. I'm certainly not going to sit down and work that out with the migraine I have at present! And anyway, I think I've made myself out to be a big enough nerd as it is. If you were to multiply them out though, it would give you a distance in meters of which if you were to travel out into space in any direction that far you would find an exact copy of earth, an exact copy of you, me, and absolutely everything! Let me explain how this is possible...

Let's say there are only 4 particles that make up our planet and only 2 different types of particles. This is a phenomenally simple universe! Think of it as 2 different coloured snooker balls. If you had blue and red balls to arrange in groups of 4 as many different ways as possible, you'd only end up with 16 different outcomes. Therefore, if you were to make a 17th, no matter how they were arranged, it'd be a copy of one that's already been done. This same rule applies to the universe.

Each 100,000,000 people I was talking about earlier relates to infinitely many people out there amongst the stars. Further substantiating the fact that happy-go-lucky is bollocks!

When we think positively and have good luck our most horrid need takes over to point the finger. This is usually related to bad occurrences; in this case however, our desire to point the finger results in us "blaming" positive thinking for rare good future.

To summarise on why positivity can't possibly lead to good luck - there's only 2 things it can be: religious or not religious. Religious figures are the only thing that can make it happen, so it can't be not religious. In the same breath, it can't be religious because it contradicts everything religion is based around. I am a negative thinker; I always have been and I always will be. If you're a positive thinker you really need to change your ways. This may not mean becoming completely cynical, however. Positivity is so dependent on hope & good luck - good luck that'll never come. A good compromise in between is to think realistically.

I hope this post has enlighten you all...
