There actually IS such thing as luck. Who knew?

And it all has to do with the element of an individual's agency to choose their own direction in life. The agency of a person even seems to help create the concept of luck. This, combined with the concept of possibility, seem to give it more complete meaning.

I tend to think that even foreknowledge of an outcome would not deny the actual existence of luck prior to the actuation of events. There is a feeling of luckiness that people have even when the factors involved seemed within his or her own control. Any person can simply make a different choice at any time and it is this particular reality that imbues said feeling of luck. It even seems to me that luck might be one of the distinct opposites of agency. It is worth exploring further.

I am currently quite indisposed mentally and feel inclined to try this again another time. I am glad to have made a little progress on it tonight, anyway.
