Do you believe in Murphy's Law, or do you think we wish bad things to happen by thinking about them?

I think bad things just happen, period. I don't think it much matters if you wish for them or the reverse. Murphy's Law is simply a catchall expression for when things seem to be going consistently poorly. I don't read into it anything more than that. It can be argued that negative things happen to negative people (or at least, people who think negatively), just as the converse is true about positive things happening to positive people. But I'm thinking this is just a tad too simplistic and otherwise unprovable. What happens, happens, irrespective of how we think or try to rationalize it after the event. Make sense?

I seem to get an inordinate amount of bad luck. Take today My car broke down, i lost 15 pounds(money), i locked myself out of my house and i burnt my toast. I'm not going to bed in case i die in my sleep.

Yeh I think it probably is based on the decisions we make in our lives, I think our paths are only mapped out to a certian degree and judging by what choices we make it can be steered off course.

Yes I do. \n1)I think its bad luck to wear other peoples wedding rings, \n2)If an eyelash falls off, you have to make a wish on it but you have to put it on your thumb and you cant look at where it goes when you blow it off.\n3)Its good luck when a butterfly lands on you\n4)If the doors are closed when youre sleeping, the ghosts cant get to you.\n5)the number 6 isnt a very happy number. If I see it repetivatly during the day, something bad is bound to happen to me.\n6)Dont walk on the wet grass in the morning, it will kill the little rolly pollys\n7)It think the superstition that eating black eyed peas on New Years is gay and doesnt work.\n8)If Im not nice to someone during the day when I know I should be, kaharma will bite me in the a s s\n9)Even numbers are good luck\n10)All evil thoughts directed to me can be wished back to them 100 fold (100 times)

Yeah, I'd go out accidents happen all the time, and you just have to hope that it's not you or someone you know that it happens to (I know it sounds horrible but you know it's true). Plus leaving an over sheltered life is worse than living an overly dangerous one, in my opinion.

Ever heard that bad things happen in 3's.\nMaybe it was just one of those days and u kinda had a feeling it was about to be ur turn.

Stop blameing bad things that happen on your fantasies and imagination.  When are you going to take responsibility for your own life?

that's the one thing that sucks about life. it seems when things go at it's best something horrible follows.  i hate to be a negative person because i usually am not...but when good things happen too often in my life...i wonder what's going to mess it up.\nother than that i just try to think positive ....and one good thing is when bad things do happen..things eventually work out.

It's called Murphy's Law- everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

Yes...I believe 100% in fate...I have had this argument with people over and over.  Someone will say something like...no, I could have done this...but I chose to do this.  Regardless of the fact, it is still the fate that has been predetermined.\n\nAnything that can be argued against it makes no sense...because that is what was MEANT to happen.  The path getting there isn't always a pretty one, but it is the one that is supposed to happen...Does that mean we are mindless robots wandering through time?...To an extent, yes.  The good thing about it is...we don't KNOW where fate will take us.  That is a good thing however...because we are a weak species and would take the easier road most of the time...\n\nI like the Garth Brooks song "The Dance" just for that reason...I could have missed the pain...but I'da had to miss the dance.\n\nSo yes...the bad things that have happened in My life made Me who I am today...and I wouldn't change any single one of them...because I wouldn't be Me.

Yes, that's usually how we get in trouble, isn't it?  I think we all have done that and hopefully, we have learned something from the consequences of not "thinking" and weighing our options.  Godloveya.  Very good question.

Why not? I believe that if i'm about to have bad lucks, no matter where i go or what i do, i will have it. So just chill up and enjoy

i believe it.  it's weird but most of the time when something bad is going to happen or happened i feel something inside of me that knows there is something wrong but i'm not sure what.

Thoughts do indeed create things both positivly and negativly. I've seen it in my own life plus in the lives of others life is indeed a grand illusion that we ourselves create daily. \n\nLearning the nature of that and leanring how to control it is one of the rules of the game ;)

Yes, I do. And I definitely don't think that it's something from the devil or what so ever (let's not get all religious about this) but I agree that it can be used for both good and bad intentions. \nI don't really know why but I've always believed in magic. (It could be the Harry Potter affect! Just kidding!:) )

Murphy's law: "What ever can go wrong, will"

I think sometimes good people are good because bad stuff happens to them. I am one of those people. At times, I think I may be the unluckiest person in the world, however, I've learned some awesome lessons in every one of them. It doesn't get me down, I keep a positive attitude. Don't get me wrong though, it does suck.
