It's all luck/coincidence/fate...or is it?

What does all this mean? ... Well, I know what they mean... I just meant, really? Is life really all about luck, coincidence, or fate? Sometimes I'd like to believe so, I guess it could be all three, or none at all. I guess it all depends on what you believe. For myself I'd like to believe that not everything is about luck, people can get lucky yes, but I don't actually believe in luck to a point where I'm left saying, "oh man, that was pure luck!" even in places where you gamble, honestly, I don't believe you win off of luck, its all about being at the right machine at the right time, those things are made to take you up and then make you lose, and every couple dozen people will actually win. Even playing the right hand, I'm sure any poker player at a table will have his share of "luck", but, at the same time I'm sure they will more than likely say they played their hand smart or knew how to bluff their way through, being that as it may, you can say or think what you'd like. Luck is nothing more than something being a coincidence. Coincidence is just an off chance you didn't expect and in the same sense maybe its the same as luck? I hate how people say "oh what a coincidence I see you here!" its like, yeah big surprise that I might actually be at a grocery store shopping for food, cause I live off of my filth. People have busy lives, they don't always pay attention to who they know and might see out while they're running errands in their everyday life. No one cares to see someone else out of school/work/whatever, big surprise, yes we all have lives. Coincidence is logical, of course at one point or another you will end up finding something you had been looking for, but not in the place you ignored before, or finally seeing someone you know, but never seeing them outside of work or school or wherever. Now, we end up at fate. Fate I guess to a point I believe in the most. Fate is meant to happen, fate is inevitable. If it's meant to happen it will...I believe with fate, you can also follow it with hope and faith, only because even though something is meant to happen or if its fate, doesn't mean a person always believes it or expects it, however, if they never lose hope and allow faith to carry them through they will see that things can happen and not all is lost. Never give up, never lose hope, never lose faith, without these things, what more would we have? What else could carry us? We strive for the best, sometimes we don't always get the best, but going for it will get us a long way in the end. This is just me and my opinions, they are neither right nor wrong. What do you make of it all? 


"What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate."
