Kuwabara kuwabara

If there is such a thing as luck, then some people have all of it. And others have none. That being said, luck is probably not being distributed fairly. "It's not fair." Or so some people would claim. I would venture a guess that everything does indeed have a reason for being how it is, though the purpose/reason for it will only be clear in time, after hindsight, as always. Things are as fair as they're going to be for the time being. As for luck, there are two truths to it: "no such thing" and "you make your own." Or so I would say.

No such thing as luck because while it is true that there are a lot of things that one cannot control (being born and what it entails), it's unfair to say that just because someone was born at a certain place, they are lucky. One man's fortune is another's burden. Being born into a ludicrously wealthy family has the power to detach one from the "common" man. The common man being the rest of those who weren't born into wealth, and were born into poverty, or a state that is not material wealth. That rich "lucky" man is deprived of a sense of _____, ______. and ______. You can fill in the blanks yourself with your imagination. So, despite being born into money, it really didn't do any good if he is missing so much. One can even say that to some extent, that rich man isn't a man. Or that he isn't really rich.

That's not to say that someone who is born into poverty is any better. He, too, is missing something. Aside from material wealth. He is missing a sense of peace, however false that sense of peace may actually be. Peace in the sense that some wealth will make it so that he doesn't have to worry about living day to day. And a sense of safety, I suppose.

Being in the "right place" at the "right time" and being considered lucky is kind of dumb because you were just doing what you were doing normally.

You know something?

You make your own luck. It's in the way you behave and carry yourself and all that stuff. All that energy you put out influences the outcome of your actions and so forth. It sounds like bullshit but let me put it this way: if you throw a tennis ball against a wall, it's going to bounce back at you. Similar idea with energy and throwing a big rock into a lake or body of water: you're going to get splashed. I, however, am guilty of misusing the word "lucky" (or at the very least its perceived transplanted meaning). What I probably mean is fortunate.

Though one can argue that they are the same thing.

It's more in the connotation then, isn't it?
