What is luck? Does it really exist?

June 30, 06 by Diego

Some people say that luck doesn’t exist, some other say that it does and you need it.

But I ask myself, does it exist or not?

    hey Grace
    I do not believe in luck. I believe in grace, and God is full of it. Maybe you’ve been hurt by the church, I am sorry, but ask yourself; who is God, and what kind of God is he? Many churches and religions claim to preach and teach about God, but the only God I’ve read about in the Bible and that I know, is one full of love and compassion. Blessings are from God, I don’t know all the answers, I don’t know why my Mom died and that I never got to really meet her, I don’t know. I refuse to let that sperate God and I, I know that God can work all things for good. God is not partial, if he was, Jesus wouldn’t have died on the cross for us all-no matter what we have done. What God has done in my life has changed it, and life is not the same. I don’t know what I would do without Him.

    People refer to luck as: a chance or that “Which happens beond (probally didn’t spell that right.) a person’s control. I don’t think God is partial with anyone and it is pretty much probability.

    The Dictionary defines luck as: Success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions.

    I ve come to my own personal definition after studying some statistics and I would define luck as: “A very rare event (meaning that the probability of that event happening is very small) that might affect somebody either negatively or posivetely.” For example When you get lucky you are just witnessing and being part of a rare event that affected you positevely. And the same for when you get bad luck, you are not hoping to be affected by that small probability of that rare event happening but sometimes we are.
    Another example: Let’s say you are going to play the lottery and lets assume that the probabilities or chances of you wining with only one entry are 1 in a million, the probability of you wining are so very, very, very small that if you happen to win you would say that you got very, very, very lucky. Now lets say that you really want to win the lottery and decide to spend all of your savings which are $900,000 in order to cover all the possible combinations in a lottery game that would give you a prize of 200 million dollars, but lets say that the $900,000 amount is good to cover only 999,999 of the 1,000,000 combinations that you need but you still decide to play because you are only missing 1 combination. You can be 99.9% sure that you’ll win but there is still that very, very, very small probability that you won’t win even spending all that money, and that would be an example of extremely bad luck if you don’t win. Do you get the point?

    I call it a sliver of luck, because its usualy so small when it does come your way. So cherish your moment (sliver of luck).

    Luck , good or bad, is simply a term we’ve tagged onto random chance: being in a certain place, at a certain time, doing a certain thing.

    Luck is such an intangible, that if you could reach you could get.

    Luck is being able to live life. To breath the clean air , to run with healthy legs. to see sea animals live,breath, frolic, enjoy, what they do. Luck is being able to survive what the idiots of todays society say you should be doing. Luck is having kids that live their own life regardless of what we do. Luck is having a partner that sticks with you no matter how fucked=up you are. Luck is being at the right place at the right time, but only for some people. Luck will find me AGAIN!!!

    I don’t believe in god because there is no evidence that god exists.
    Nobody can prove that god does not exist but we can’t prove that leprechauns or pink unicorns don’t exist either so in the absence of positive evidence that something does exist it’s foolish to believe it does. Moreover it’s been statistically proven that prayers are ineffective (disproving the god of the bible or islam) so luck is truly the outcome of an effect by a very rare event that was improbable.

    GOD EXIST JUST LOOK AROUND YOU - HE IS THERE IN THE AIR, WATER, LIGHT ,SKY AND EARTH. LUCK IS RESULT OF OUR PAST DEEDS - A CHILD BORN IN A POOR FAMILY AND A CHILD BORN RICH IS RESULT OF THEIR PAST DEEDS.SOME ARE BORNE LUCK AND SOME ARE BORN UNLUCKY - BUT SOME PEOPLE WITH HARD WORK AND PRAYER CAN CHANGE BAD LUCK TO GOOD ONE- AMEEN.

    IF MANKIND EXIST THAN HIS CREATOR ALSO EXIST.IF A CHILD EXIST PARENTS DO EXIST NO ONE CAN BORN HIMSELF.

    then who created the creator?

  14. 014   •   Umaira Says:

    I personally do not think that luck is result of our past deeds. The mighty GOD created this world for a reason. Only sincere prayers can change the way events unfold. Prayers can and do result in “personal miracles” — events or experiences that we consider almost impossible and certainly highly improbable.

    There is a hadith, which says that God wrote down the decrees regarding the created world, fifty thousand years, before He created the heavens and the earth. The point to be noted here is that this does not, in any way, mean that God created a universe, finished off and complete, bound to the iron rules of Nature. The idea behind qadar is that the creation of this universe was in accordance with the grand design of the Creator. This means that there is no element of chance in the creation of this universe. Everything is well arranged and well planned.
