“Magical thinking” is defined as the belief that an object, action or circumstance not logically related to a course of events, can influence its outcome.
We are all magical thinkers, to some degree, finding solace and comfort in ritual and belief.
Do you wear a wedding ring? That's magical thinking. Do you hope that karma exists, and your enemies will get what they deserve? That’s magical thinking. Do you ever yell at inanimate objects for the harm they've caused you? That’s magical thinking. Do you believe in luck, fate, kismet? That's magical thinking.....
I'm still awaiting the results for definitive medical treatment of this pesky breast cancer thing, on Halloween, to be exact. Until then, I try to be resolved and patient, and (dare I say it?) hope for the best. It wouldn't hurt to get lucky.....cross your fingers for me.
