Luck or Will of God?

[bluedes]

---

Do you believe in Luck?
or is it the Will of God?

Some people believe in luck, like the Chinese..
others believe it is the will of God.. like Christians..

A story I once heard from a priest before concerning luck and will of God.

When a Christian finds a wallet on the road, he will attribute it as the will of God.
When a Chinese finds a wallet on the road, he will attribute it as a stroke of luck.

but the moral of the story is:
A good person (irregardless of what he believes in) will return it to the Lost and Found section.
A not-so-good person will pocket the wallet..

So,
Do you believe in Luck?
or is it the Will of God?

The LUCK (Good and Bad are relative) and WILL are products of man's consciousness and karma (Past and present)

I'm not sure if I believe in luck, but strangely enough I use it often in everyday conversations hehehe...

I believe that there is such a thing as God's will.

[handsoff241]

I believe... there is...a God's will.

for me, luck or it's counterpart unlucky, is a way to explain God's will if you do not understand it well.

God's will or the will of the wind? It's a nice song!

I spent half my life
Looking at the reasons things must change.
And half my life trying to make them stay the same.
But love would fade like summer into fall;
All that I could see was a mystery,
It made no sense at all.

Chorus:
The will of the wind, you feel it and then,
It will pass you blowing steady.
It comes and it goes, and God only knows,
You must keep your sails on ready.
So when it begins, get all that you can;
You must befriend the will of the wind.
I spent so many hours
Just thinkin' 'bout the way things might have been.
And so many hours trying to bring the good times back again.
And so it goes for lonely hearted fools;
They let their days slip away,
Until they give into...
(Repeat Chorus)
CODA:
So when it begins, get all that you can;
You must befriend the will of the wind

consequences it is.

the man is careless that he lost his wallet.

[nikxz unÖ]

A stroke of fluke.

[regnauld]

consequences it is.

the man is careless that he lost his wallet.

What if the wallet was stolen? Is it still THE WILL OF GOD?

Remember: When the pickpocket goes out, what he sees is the wallet and when the saint goes out, what he sees is GOD!

unlike CHANCE on the other hand doesn't give a damn whatever you got to do with your neighbor's wife, donkey or ass.

CHANCE... Unbiased, Unprejudiced...Fair.

^ There is no such thing as accident or chance! There is always a REASON and a PURPOSE behind everything! That is I know for sure!
