I wish for one nice week...

That would be nice.

I know.

I don't think I've ever had a perfect week.

I hate to break it to you, Norrin, but I don't think there's such a thing as a perfect week.

One where nothing terrible happens, no one dies, no one is attacked...

That would be a welcome change.

Having a tough week?

Yes...

And yes.

You can only go up then, right?

Or straight ahead.

Then make it happen.

I have terrible luck.

You make your own luck.

No, you don't.

Yes, you do.

Fine. How?

Most of the time, you set up the circumstances that lead to your "luck." If not, you choose how to react to the situation, which sets up the rest of the sequence of events. Most "bad luck" is a pattern, and it is your job to recognize the pattern and stop it.

...no, it's not.

If someone has a miscarriage, or a storm destroys their home, or anything else like that, that's not a pattern. It's not their fault.

That doesn't make it "luck" either. It just happens. Their reaction, though, does still set up the rest of what will happen, so they are not held accountable for what happened, no, but they control what happens next.

That's not luck.

Because luck does not exist.

Yes, it does.

No.

People assign the term "luck" to situations. It does not exist.

That's your opinion.
