With a little push, we could send it off. We can send it rocketing skywards.

The way I see it, it's all about action and consequence. I've been thinking about luck. I'm not sure that luck actually exists. Its sort of a farfetched concept, don't you think? Some of the best things happen to the worst people. Actually, when I think about it, in most cases, the people who recieve all the advantages aren't the people who deserve them at all. I'm not saying that anyone who has ever happened upon a positive occurence is a horrible person. I'm just saying that the most admirable people I've come across in my years seem to be the ones who always get the short end of the stick. It isn't some onlooking force pressing favor after favor upon random people "just 'cause". We attract the things that happen to us. You can't reach the top of the ladder without first climbing the steps that lead you there. I don't really want to drag religion into this because it's such a subjective thing. But if we're looking at this from a theistic point of view, the existence of luck would mean that God is partial with people. What happened to His non-discriminating, unconditional, unbaised and equal love of all of His children? I really don't believe in luck. The happenings of our lives are attracted to us by what we think and what we do. It is ultimately about your state of mind and the way in which you act upon it. That being said, sometimes things just happen, and we can't come up with a reason why. It's not always a chain of events, and it's not some supernatural force governing the plots of our lives. It's not a matter of chance, which I guess some would refer to as their definition of luck. Well, not mine. It's just probability of situations playing out, beyond our control. Maybe this isn't making any sense. Maybe my perspective is a little bit twisted. My cousin told me once, "Sometimes shit happens. We can't explain it, but sometimes fate and coincidence trump logic and reason and we don't know why." But hey, that's just the way I see it.
