In the colonies, as it it took about seven years for ANYTHING to get here by boat, loss of a mirror was rather tragic.

It's just a superstition. I would say that there is little to no truth in the statement at all.

I broke a mirror almost 7 years ago, and I'm having decent luck. So maybe once those 7 years are over, I'll start having great luck? As for the origin. here's one explanation: http://www.trivia-library.com/a/origin-of-common-superstitions-breaking-a-mirror.htm

Well I broke a mirror a couple of weeks ago and since then my car has been stolen with all my jackets in it, I've lost my job and because I can't pay the rent am facing eviction... And then yesterday I smacked the wing mirror of the car and it broke. So I think I'm going to hide in a cupboard for the next fourteen years...

It depends on breaking-mirror history. For a first timer, it may be a concurrent 7 years but for a habitual offender, they may be consecutive 7 years

I ,myself, do not think this is true, but I think that people started this out because it seems that you break yourself, your reflection and it would mean... well, shattering yourself, your life.

It crazy i think they say that just to make other people from destroy their mirror woman most

I'm right out of luck....perhaps because during my career as a barber I have broken so many mirrors I've lost count...so I vote Yes it is true...as to the origin...thats anyones guess.
