Muses: Luck

Luck.

What is luck?
Luck is subject to my typos. It first appeared as kuck, then as cluck. Neither of which it is. You might call this... rather unlucky?
(tee-hee)

But that's besides the point. What is luck, really?
Luck is when fate happens to throw two things together in time, and they happen to work out PERFECTLY together. Luck is like... the "big bang". Meeting your one-and-only. Luck is pretty special.

D'you wanna know something, though?
*leans closer*
*whispers:* I don't believe in luck.
I think that the concept of luck is full of it... and I don't mean full of luck, because that would be, well, rather circular. And ergo nonsensical. Psshaw, I'm never nonsensical. I always make perfect sense.

Anyway, what the heck do I mean by "I don't believe in luck"?
It does sound rather... odd.
Well, here's a hint. I usually say this, then put a vocal semicolon after it and say, "I kinda think..." then look upwards.
Lost? Okay. Let's put this on its own little line.

I don't believe in luck; I kinda think... *looks up at heavens* ...yeah. Luck is full of it.

Get it now?
I think that the concept of "luck" and "coincidence" and "lucky coincidences" and "coincidental luck" are pretty stupid, usually. ...and are those words making anyone else's brain hurt, by now?

What I'm getting at in a very, very round-about way, is that I don't think that things happen without a purpose, which is what luck is: purposeless. It's handy, but it just sort of happened.
You see, I believe that there's somebody out there---up there---watching out for me and everyone else (whether or not they want it), and sometimes He sticks His Finger in the pot and stirs around a bit to make the mixture a leeeeetle bit sweeter to taste.

He's awesome. He makes my world a better place.

*coughs* I suppose you might say that we're pretty lucky to have him around?
But I wouldn't. I say that it's not luck at all.
More of a ... heavenly gift?
