Black ants and good fortune...well some of it...

I have been told multiple times that black ants are good. I believed it to be so, because there was a time these ants had increased and my financial issues had come down substantially. Since then, I have seen them here and there, now and then, but nothing great happened. Last year, I had the house painted, and the ants stopped completely. I had tough year...financially. One of the tenants wouldn't vacate, so I had to pay to get him to leave my home. Decent sum. I also had to undertake a whole lot of repairs once he left. I also ended up repairing my other house. Now, my previous house help has been sick for almost six months, nearly bedridden, so I have been helping her in the name of Sai, with some little money and food. Of late, black ants have returned. And....................... I was surprised that bank balance was more than I thought it should be. I was also surprised that our legal case of 35 odd years is now in negotiation stage. So...instead of arguing for ages, and getting nothing out of it, there has been a proposal by the supreme court judge considering that we are not exactly at fault. So, we are being asked to surrender a nominal holding to the government, and close the case...the negotiations will resume under the new judge who will take charge around November 9th. I spotted black ants four days ago, I got this news yesterday. So ..should I declare it to be coincidence, or should I accept the superstition to be true? Thrice is once too many...to be coincidence. Nevertheless, I would like to know if you all have had something similar happening to you all?

Have you had similar experience...not the big black ants, the small confused harmless black ants...which move around very fast. Honestly, I am a rational person and do not believe in superstitions. But can such a thing be coincidence so often?

@vandana7 I don't have luck with any ants. Except they try to get into food

If that is true, then I guess I am still waiting for my bit of luck to come . We had an ant problem a few weeks ago . . . they left after 2 days of our fast action to get rid of them - that was the only good that I got .

Were they small black ants or bigger ones that bite?

I don't know about that. I like to think we make our own luck.

Case being fought in the court for 35 odd years? Blink....if that is getting resolved, and serious discussions are on for that at the behest of judges ...well, it sure is a positive move. Extremely positive. It will still take time, and I expect everything to be resolved by April or May next year. Nevertheless, it is something we all are now positive about. Especially since the judges have pointed out merits in our case, and expressed that we deserve to own the lands.

When I see one ant I spray to stop more from coming. I do not want them in my house at all.

Aw...they say small black ants are incarnation of goddess Lakshmi. Which is funny but ...in my case, there are too many incidences to write it off as superstition.

I've never heard of this but hopefully the black ants are a good sign for you.

So far...everything it has done is good...which is weird, because it is so unexpected.

three time is really a sign, for me. i don't like ants; have an urge to spray them whenever i see them but they came as luck in disguise, it seems. i'm sorry for your troubles this year.

Small black ants that do not bite, definitely bring good fortune...check it out next time...I merely want some others to confirm whether such a thing happens...they don't normally attack food or other things...

@grenery8 Then the ants are not the same ones...the ones in our house never bite.

I'm glad things are improving for you. I hate ants; and they come into the house every year and crawl on me. They don't bring us any good luck. Have a good weekend.
