Do You believe in luck?
What is luck? We define it as something good happening, and bad luck as something bad happening. But is that really luck? If something good happens to you, what makes it luck? What defines something as lucky or not lucky? Is luck a cause and effect thing? Doesn't everything in the earth happen because of cause and effect? Can anything (any effect) happen without a cause? Luck is defined as something that happens like a miracle, without cause and effect. And if nothing can happen without cause and effect, why does luck happen? What is it made of?

I totally don't believe in luck. For everything outcome, there's always a reason. Luck is just an excuse for people. If something bad happens, there has to be a reason why something bad happened. If something good happened, then there's always a reason.
ReplyDeleteHm, in my opinion, nothing really happens "magically." There is always a cause behind things that are done. If a ball falls on you, you are not "unlucky," the wind or something simply pushed against the ball and hit you. Anyone could have been there at that time. People shouldn't rely on something that isn't there.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you. I think luck is like mythology, something made up to explain why things happen. If nobody has an explanation for something, they just say "It was bad luck"
ReplyDeleteEven in a game of roulette there really is no luck. Everything is constituted by the speed of the spinning wheel, the way you drop the ball into the wheel, and infinitely many other factors that make up physics. So, if one could master those physics in their head, which is impossible even with the brainpower we have, one could win roulette every time they played.
