Does the concept of faith, or luck, make us more resilient to life's ups and downs? Are we more likely to make the best of a bad situation if we believe in fate? Is the fatalism of the gambling mindset a form of Stoicism?
If you are playing poker, but me not fold, are you more accepting of what the hand you were dealt is then if you can fold?
Lack of control over a negative situation consistently leads to learn helplessness. The presence of a relief button prevents acquiring of learned helplessness. Might fatalistic, or stoic, or Zen acceptance philosophies serve as a psychological release button when no physical release button is available?
