In response to Katie Russell's question,"Do you believe that there is such a thing as luck? Why or why not?"...
In short, no, for I believe that everything in the universe is truly up to chance. Some argue that there is a god who determines what happens in our lives, but it commonly believed that there is not enough evidence to prove his existence. Honestly, I just believe what happens to you, happens to you, and whether it is good or bad has nothing to do with "luck." What is luck anyways, some mysterious force people claim exists? I simply believe it does not exist because some of the greatest people in the world get the "worst luck." There is a woman I have known for a long time who attends my church. She is an incredibly person, but within the last year her family has gone through some of the worst events imaginable. Her father suddenly passed away, and both her husband and son have been in the hospital for an extended amount of time. While I have been here at college, I learned that she herself has gotten two types of cancer simultaneously. Basically, my conclusion is that luck is yet another concept people have constructed to make themselves feel better when they loose or win a game, for instance. While there are many things in this world we do not understand, it seems people construct many fantastical notions to justify things to themselves and others.
