Why do some people have so much luck in their life while other have always bad luck? A german proverb says: "He/she attracts bad luck" and I think it is true, some people seem to fail their whole life and one misfortune is followed by the other. Could be curse, but it's rather a self-reenforcing reciprocal process between the person and it's environment. Similair to self fulfilling phrophecies.

About bad luck, I'm not sure about "attracting" it but I do think people who've had a bit of misfortune and chosen to focus on it (instead of, say, being grateful for whatever good might have happened) will then tend to notice more of what appears to be bad luck ... will select it out of the events in life, will recite those events to others, and will then come to view himself as a bad-luck person. In order to show otherwise, you'd have to know every single event that took place in a person's life from birth forward *and* you'd have to know whether each event was "good" or "bad"; you'd need some kind of universal, omnipotent scale, which I don't think anybody has.
I personally would break down without peanut butter, yes.
