The Ramble on Luck, is it pressure... ?

Previously, I thought... "Gah! I'm lucky most of the times^^"
          But then most of the time, no,.. not most... It's just in me.. I don't believe in luck.

So I ponder about it : Why do the word "luck" comes out of my mouth so easily when I really don't believe in it. Coincidence too,.. not that I don't believe it but I believe that everything has it's reason so to call something coincidence is really unreasonable to me.

Yuuko from XXXHolic catch phrase which been quoted many times by her fans had it's truth..

Nothing in this world is a coincidence. Everything is Hitsuzen*.
(xxxHOLiC)

*Hitsuzen meaning inevitability, destiny, or fate, as being the driving force in the world

Since I believe in god,... or to be more precise, I'm a muslim and I believe in Allah, I know that everything in this world is fated. He planned it all. Of course, there are reasons for everything.

          Now I'm starting to crap and stray from what I originally want to say..

The thing is, it's bugging me a lot. The word "luck". This might be an unnecessary rambling but I just had to spit it out of my head once and for all.

By definition, LUCK means :

1.	events that are beyond control and seem subject to chance; fortune
2.	success or good fortune
3.	something considered to bring good luck

There are many thing in this world that could make me gone mad.. For instance, that simple word "luck". Haaaa~ I really don't know what am I to do with myself T^T.

          So, if luck means chance, then it's a good thing right? I'm not too sure~ we shouldn't really depend on chances alone afterall. The world is not too kind that they'll give out chances to everyone. What about the advice "take chances". Or the bad education of "take other people chance"?  Survival means taking chances. But what kind of chances do we take to remain a good person? Like I have that hope anymore... When it come to this, I wonder if taking other people chances is a bad thing.. It doesn't sound bad if you hear it in another point of view.

          For instance, someone who have the chance would be fortunate, right? In other words, lucky. And we call the person who didn't get it unfortunate or unlucky. But under some circumstances, the A person were not able to take up that chance at that moment so the B person took it. And the A side would say, B stole their chance. Well, then their unfortunate. But seldom people say that they're unlucky.Why? Maybe cause they got the chances in the first place. But B side would say that B is great at looking for chances. Would that be called fortunate? And can we substitute in the word and say "B, you're great at looking for luck!" It would sound odd indeed.

But then again, "chance" are not used in that way only. And giving situation, luck is not the right word probably.
If you're getting bored or complicated, or you think I'm crazy right now.. that that's fine. I already told that this is just one of the ramble that's been disturbing me so I need to spit it out. Who force you to read it in the first place? Haha

          How bout' the use of luck in cheer? Instead of saying "Good luck", shouldn't one say "Do your best! I'm rooting^^" or shorten it to just "Do your best", "Give all you got" and etc. That why I love the word "Ganbatte!!" Short, and simple.  It is a saying used to encourage people to try hard before a performance to say good luck.But then again, even that word had a little essence of luck. At least it literally means do your best, I guess~

Haa~ I wonder if I talk too much of nonsense....

I guess Ace's death really got into me T^T

Well, to those who actually read this until the very end, which I planned to be here.. Thanks a lot~ It would be better if you could help me by leaving some comments AND follow me^^

But then again, maybe you don't want to hear these rambling~ tee hee >,<

I'm gonnna study right now and pray for the best for mid-year!!!!! がんばりたい!!  がんばれます!! Luck is often not on my side.. not really.. I've been getting good fortune if it's not home related... so I'm not gonna depend on luck!! Everything is already fated but hardwork is not without results so I'll do my best and look forward to my result^^~
