What an unbelievably lucky person. What are the odds of being hit by a tsunami, surviving that, and just when you need it most, you "find" a raft. Wow........................

Considering the thousands that didn't find a raft I'd say the odds are pretty slim.

Ideally correct. "Luck is just function chance." [/quote] The one who found the raft was "lucky". In a good way. The 150,000 others that didn't- well they were "lucky" , too......... .........in a bad way. IMHO: LUCK: what happens to you. Luck should be (if it isn't) a slang word, which is to say , it could change it's definition from mind to mind; culture to culture. Actually the term should, in all logical angles, be replaced with fate, or destiny. One has no control as to the results of some situations, while others we can & do decide. The ones we can alter are in no way connected with luck. The ones we can....... well term it yourself. "Luck" works for me. It's kind of like a global term. Myself; I'm probably the unluckiest lucky sumbitch on this planet. Luck can be bad. It can be good. In the end, it is all still "luck".

My father always used to say, "If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all."
 Capn, maybe the word you're looking for is 'lot', as in 'your lot in life'. Quote:
