Could I have been cursed?

11/5/2019

QUESTION - ​I don’t believe in good luck or bad luck, my outlook is that all things happen for a reason, however I don’t believe that what has been going on in my life makes a bit of sense and would like to know your opinion if possibly I’ve been cursed or hexed by someone? It has been progressing for several months now. To cut a long story short, in the last two months my entire checking and savings account was emptied, my husband upped and left me after a 10 year marriage, I lost my house, then my little pup Apollo was hit by an 18 wheeler and taken from me, now my car is on the verge of repossession due to my divorce.

I’ve suffered from a lack of mental stability trying to hold my sanity together because I had such a hard time trying to go to work and deal with everything that all hit me at once.
I’ve never had anything like this happen to me, and my husband who was loving and caring one day just poof left and will not even talk to me and has had me blocked from calls and everything.
Could someone have cursed me? I don’t know much about spells or curses so any help would be appreciated thank you

ANSWER - This is a hard one to answer as I do believe in good and bad luck. And I think it is important that things like bad luck and coincidence are fully explored before looking to more complex explanations. You may have heard of Occum’s Razor, a philosophical argument which suggests that the simplest solution is most likely the right one. That view can very effectively be applied here.

Bad luck does exist. That is not to say that predetermination doesn’t but it would be nonsensical to ascribe meaning to every single action in our lives. Sometimes we do just have to hold our hands up and acknowledge a run of bad luck.

The trouble with the way we think as human beings is we are always looking for patterns. Each event in your series is, unpleasant and distressing yes, but nothing out of the ordinary that happens to people every day around the world. It is your decision to link them into a pattern and see the events as a holistic chain that causes you to question whether some other force is at play here.

It’s like if you throw a coin in the air and call heads and it lands heads. As an isolated incident this wouldn’t seem anything unusual. However if you repeated it 30 times in a row and got the same result then you would find it amazing. Even though you have an exactly 50/50 chance of calling the coin toss correctly in every single attempt. My point being that when you start to see things as a chain then perspective is easily lost.

There is a pattern but the pattern is one of logical cause and effect. The final issues put a strain on your marriage which led to you losing your home as part of the split up process. Same with the car. The mental health problems are a result of the stress you have been under. Each event follows on naturally from the last one.

The good news is that when you take a step back and examine each incident independently then you can stop viewing as a chain of unhappiness that will lead to worse and worse things. There is no reason to assume from the negative events that have happened to you that anything else bad is going to happen. That, at least is reassuring.

It is highly unlikely that you are the victim of a hex or a curse. Witches do not perform that kind of magic likely, If you had made a witch angry to the extent where she was willing to put out that kind of energy then you would definitely know about it. I think you can put your mind at rest that there are no malign influences at work here.

I really hope things start to get better for you. soon.
