DO YOU BELIEVE IN LUCK?

 

We are lucky primarily when the events are favourable to us

unexpectedly and without having planned anything about it

 

Victor Manuel Guzman Villena

 

Hopefully we find ourselves in a situation where the result of all

our intents and purposes depends on chance. For example, the bank

robber, which is recognized by a security guard who just started a

new job in that bank, and already knew this thief because he had

previously seen his action in another branch, the robber had no luck.

 

While the good luck is usually to do with the events that are

favorable (adverse if they fail) so unexpected, " by chance " , need not

necessarily be " likely " . Sometimes people are lucky if even have

advantage. In my youth I played Russian roulette and I am alive to

tell you. I was lucky despite the fact the revolver was loaded with

only one bullet so that the odds favored my survival. It was only " by

chance " that I leave the game well. Someone who comes out unscathed

from a serious accident are lucky, even if in the accident were more

people involved, and most of them managed to survive (for example, in

this case survive was a probability).

 

We say he had luck since it was only by chance that our survivor was

among the fortunate and not among the unfortunate. Indeed, when the

number of probability is very high and where it is left to chance is

minimal, it would be more accurate to speak of fortune rather than

luck. (Whoever wins the lottery are lucky, the one who has not won,

has been unfortunate)

 

The fate interrupts the normal evolution of events. Accordingly, we

have certainly not right to expect that " the fate is with us " . It is

precisely because we live in a world where things do not go well for

what we normally we tend to think that when developments are

favorable to us is something special, and is why we say " we have had

a lucky break. " Having " a streak of good luck " is more unusual and

therefore worth to celebrate the good fortune.

 

We are lucky primarily provided that the events are favourable to us

unexpectedly and without having planned anything about it, and we are

very lucky when something happens against all odds. If you lose a

needle in a haystack and find it in the first pile of grass you're

looking at that event like, you has been lucky. To speak of chance an

event has to happen against all odds trustworthy.

 

Whoever wins the bingo is lucky, but whoever loses, knowing the low

probability of winning, has no right to say is bad luck, despite the

fact that in a sense has been unfortunate. " You should have seen

coming " because this was something highly probable; Predictably and

should not be surprised at all. According to statistics, a person

would fly daily over 4,000 years to expect that an accident occurred

(and even in this case would have a chance of surviving). So we can

not talk about lucky if we reach our destination safely, although it

is true, of course we would have bad luck if we suffer.
