Good Luck
    #22129669 - 08/23/15 05:50 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Can anyone splain me what's the point of telling both teams in a competition "good luck"?

First of all, I don't see how making vocalizations at someone can possibly affect their fortunes. And even if you did somehow create magic with sounds, wouldn't you cancel any effect by making the same noise at both conmpetitors?

I understand that it's often done as a courtesy, but it seems silly to me. Wouldn't "may the best man/woman win" (meaning I would not like to see cheating) or "enjoy the game" be less disingenuous?

What do think?

2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

enjoy your game seems appropriate except when gambling where good luck or good fortune seems good.

Luck and skill are different. If both teams have good luck, then the winner will be the one with the most skill. I think it's just a nice way of saying 'hope nothing unexpectedly bad happens'.

Because the other team needs all the luck they can get... :uptosomething:

Sportsmanship is a give and take... Clearly it's not what the spectator observes.

But preferences in general take a little bit to heat up. Do they stand the heat?

It's like praying. Whichever team has more people say good luck to them will be blessed by the luck fairy.

Why would one player wish another he is competing with to win?

Maybe he was told he was worthless all his life and doesn't think he deserves to win.

Clock, I'd say you are just projecting spectatorship into the game. 

Quote:

While the noble man lives in trust and openness with himself (gennaios 'of noble descent' underlines the nuance 'upright' and probably also 'naïve'), the man of ressentiment is neither upright nor naive nor honest and straightforward with himself. His soul squints; his spirit loves hiding places, secret paths and back doors, everything covert entices him as his world, his security, his refreshment; he understands how to keep silent, how not to forget, how to wait, how to be provisionally self-deprecating and humble.

A race of such men of ressentiment is bound to become eventually cleverer than any noble race; it will also honor cleverness to a far greater degree: namely, as a condition of existence of the first importance; while with noble men cleverness can easily acquire a subtle flavor of luxury and subtlety—for here it is far less essential than the perfect functioning of the regulating unconscious instincts or even than a certain imprudence, perhaps a bold recklessness whether in the face of danger or of the enemy, or that enthusiastic impulsiveness in anger, love, reverence, gratitude, and revenge by which noble souls have at all times recognized one another.

Ressentiment itself, if it should appear in the noble man, consummates and exhausts itself in an immediate reaction, and therefore does not poison: on the other hand, it fails to appear at all on countless occasions on which it inevitably appears in the weak and impotent.
-Nietzsche; Genealogy of Morals
