I happened to be up, briefly, at 3:33 am this morning and, remembering some childhood rumor, I made a wish: that everyone would have good luck.
But as I drifted to sleep I wondered if it was possible for everyone to simultaneously have good luck. Wouldn’t one person have to have an unlucky outcome for another to have the opposite?
This morning, awake, I have a more sterile answer: if everyone had good luck it wouldn’t be luck at all. I was wishing for some higher power to steal all the luck in this world.
I’ll try again at 1:11.
