Luck?
to believe in luck or that chance event
seems like something that should
be reserved for the greatest fools
but does that not then beg the
question how does anything happen
what causes it, where does it come from
who the hell is in charge here
do I master my own domain
or guide my own fate
is it by chance or is it fixed
can I change its direction
should time be spent worrying
life is short
luck or no luck let’s just live it

Well said.
Thanks, Ms. Vee!
My pleasure. ☺
Tricky, isn’t it? I agree with Ms. v ..very well said and thought provoking
Thanks again as always!
Great poem! I always cast my fate to the wind but it hasn’t always been a lucky thing to do. “Luckily” I’ve retained my sense of humor about it 🙂
Those winds tend to carry us in any direction they choose – as luck would have it. 🙂
In my younger years I dismissed the ‘faith’ in which I was raised and believed I could make my own luck, but as I got older (and hopefully wiser) I’ve come to rely on a higher power. Not that I didn’t believe before, but my upbringing was so wrapped up in religion and specific practises that I grew wary of their teachings and walked away.
After much trial and error I’ve discovered I can’t do it all on my own and have since sought after God on my own – – without all the destructive hypocrisy that is so rampant in religious organizations. I now live a faith-based life without being a member of a specific religion. Hope that makes sense…
That makes complete sense. Thanks!
🙂
Always a question without answers I was told that there are just going to be these that we must just live with?
Unfortunately, there are no hard answers for some questions and I suppose this is one of them. 😦
Nicely concluded. Life’s too short for many things.
Thank you, Simi! Life is for living. I agree. It’s great to meet you!
Likewise 🙂
Nicely put. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, live each day as if it were your last!
You better believe it! Thanks! It’s great to meet you!
Great to meet you as well!
Great words! Really love this.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s great to meet you!
I personally am a materialistic determinist. I think that whatever comes to pass, whether it be a person falling in love or a piano falling on top of someone, can be explained by purely physical causes acting out a result.
You may very well be right. Things just happen.
Many of us wonder the same thing…what does it all mean…but your conclusion is the best I can think of–lets just live and not waste time worrying 🙂
Thank you! It would be a great comfort to know what the absolute meaning but, like you said, it’s best each day to be busy living and enjoying the time we have. It’s great to meet you!
Amen. Carpe Diem
You better believe it! 🙂
