I wrote this in a forum post a while back when someone was talking about everything or most everything having to do with luck. Someone brought it back up today and I thought it was worth a blog post. This is my response to the post and what I think about luck.

I don’t believe in luck, although I do believe that God looks out for us and sometimes allows things to happen, to get us back on track.

But the real problem with luck is the abuse it has taken over the years.

People refer to the poor as the “unlucky” and to the rich as “the lucky”

This way we don’t blame the person that ignores education, has no work ethics and develops poor decision making. He’s just unlucky.

There’s no personal fault involved, they can’t be blamed, its just bad luck.

The rich, their success has nothing to do with attention to education, willingness to work or careful decision making.

They were just lucky.

In this way we can destroy the individual and account everything to luck.

This allows the government to come and take the money from the rich and give to the poor.

After all the rich did not earn the money they were just lucky, so they should have to share their money with the less lucky.
