Luck is a very subjective word . There is no parameter to measure it. You might be lucky enough to own a car but a poverty stricken African may be lucky enough to have lunch . Now destiny and luck are different . They say that you make your own luck ...but no one says you make your own destiny . Destiny is used more as a 'god related' word (fuck vocab ) . God related is a funny term . If you believe in destiny , it tells me that you believe whatever has happened and will happen in the Universe in has already been decided by God and we are mere puppets . You can connect this with Murphy's law and if you are farsighted ..you will eventually ask yourself about the existence of God. I am no Plato ; m not dealing with it (just a way to excuse this question ). Someone recently told me that ' luck is merely blessings of our parents plus our deeds ' ..I think this is the most beautiful line anyone has said to me .
