The Anonymous Widower

Am I Lucky Or Does The Devil Look After Me?

Throughout my life, I’ve often been described as lucky and several times, positive things seem to happen to me by chance.

For instance, I met my late wife at Liverpool University, when I manipulated a scheme for students to get partners for one of the guild balls.

I ended up in Metier, after a chance meeting outside an opticians on Great Portland Street.

I’ve also been mentored well, by a lot of friends, who would never be described as conventional. Some sadly are no longer with us.

and I could give lots more examples.

Even on Monday, when I had the tooth exorcised from my body, I did the right thing, as it needed three hours and three dentists.

So is it luck or do some quickly weigh up the chances and make the right decision? I do know that my late wife would never describe me as boring and is that because I never throw any possibly useful information away from my brain.  Since the stroke, I have lost some memory, like knowledge of who did this or that. But there is always Wikipedia!

As I don’t believe in any religion and believe organised religion is just another way to screw wealth out of the poor, then I can’t think that a devil exists either.  Although after my last few years, it is more likely there is a devil, than a loving and peaceful god.

But then I’m a London mongrel! And they have more fight than a wagon-load of pit-bulls.
