Some people believe in luck because it helps them feel like the world is fair, even when things don’t always go their way. Imagine you’re playing a game, and no matter how hard you try, someone else wins every time. That might make you think they had more luck than you did. It’s like having a magical helper who decides who gets what in life.
Examples
- A child thinks they won the game because they had better luck than their friend.
- Someone says they failed the test because they didn’t have any luck on their side.
- A person believes they will get rich someday just by having more luck.
