Bad luck all at once!

[Aion]

Just the spring being loaded for the good luck.

I once read an idea of karma that put it that most people think it works that if you do good, you get good, and if you do bad, you get bad, but in this idea it was more of an oscillation or pendulum swing. In this case they suggested that negative experiences actually happen first and the positive experiences come to balance. I've always found a fair amount of comfort in that.
