Today in “Yet another thing I like about Gladstone” let’s talk about how he doesn’t abuse his power.
His luck can (and often does) give him anything he needs. He even ask for stuff… he is been know to cause natural phenomena (minor…so far). His luck is border line impossible. He breaks every probability and he know it.
He is fully aware.
He understands completely how much more he could get, after all, is not like his luck would allow any suffering into his perfect life. But he doesn’t takes more than what he needs.
In the comic referenced above, he wanted the money only for the raffle ticket. Once that necessity is full filled, he decides he doesn’t need that money at all. The thought of investing it or buy a lottery ticket that would turn him rich in a second knowing that he can’t lose, doesn’t even cross his mind. He has live “in the moment” his whole life, never planning for tomorrow. Lady Luck has him covered, if he is too win the lottery, he would no matter what he does. So, why bother? Everything would be ok.
He may be egotistical, proud, childish and empathy-lacking to a degree, but he is not the tyrant he could have been.
He knows how to live an eccentric, yet simple life.
