I feel like there's some truth to the saying about your birth year (according to the Chinese zodiac). Lately, everything's been going so badly; work is a nightmare, like I'm under some kind of curse. I'm terrified of wearing red underwear on my head—it just brings bad luck. Where does this saying about bad luck in your birth year actually come from? I used to believe in science, but I think it's mostly psychological. People tend to sense bad luck beforehand, so they're more likely to notice negative events. Or they might overlook good things but remember bad things very clearly. Now that I've experienced it, I'm more inclined to believe in superstition. Some things just happen out of nowhere, like they're beyond my control! Is there any way to prevent this?
