I truly envy those who have the gift of faith. My strongest belief is BAD LUCK. I don't rob or steal 'cause I'd be caught. I know I will not make that green light up ahead. I know that I'll be late even tho I never am. If I so much as sniff a lottery ticket, it's a loser. If I'm playing tennis [a religious exercise for me] I know I'll "choke" on a key shot. Of course if I've lost track of the score and play as if the shot is just run of the mill, I'll make it. But when I try, I just die. Makes me sick. Does "wishing and hoping" , I ask myself, make any sense. No. As for 'faith' I have a sort of whimpering relationship to a higher power. I have faith in A.A. but can no longer sit thru a meeting. And god help me I have faith in the spirit of vodka. Painkiller supreme, at least til the next time. my religion is cheap booze. But I keep on trying to broaden the scope of my faith-milk and cookies. Coffee instead of whiskey.
I'm not trying to be offensive. It's just that I believe in bad luck, bad karma. And I believe it helps make me sick. cockeyed
