Luck Has Nothing to Do with It

Luck. Whatever you want to call it, it is a circumstance in life that you somehow believe happen by chance. I guess luck shows that things can take place without the need for one's actions. It's a charming concept that people will rely on. Either that, or they take luck and blame it for any mishaps that had happened to them. For the most part, however, I don't believe in good or bad luck. Your actions and the actions of others determines the result of a particular event. Everything has a reason.

Let's take a traffic ticket for example. It wasn't by chance that you got caught speeding above the limit. If you look back, the reason why you were rushing to get to your destination was because you woke up late. You woke up late because you stayed up all night. You stayed up all night because you were chatting it up with your friend. It wasn't by chance that the police officer cited you for allegedly going above the speed limit either. If he hadn't taken a break earlier to eat a donut and drink coffee, he would have been on time for his patrol instead of fifteen minutes later. It took ten minutes to order the donut because the bakery recently hired a new employee and it's his first day at the job making for a delay in service. By that time, you were on the road and your typical traffic prevents you from going any higher than twenty-five mph. As all of this was happening, the police officer already consumed his last chocolate donut and was on his way out. As soon as the traffic clears you accelerate faster and by that time, the police officer was also on the road, on the right lane, as he turns on his siren after seeing you as a potential law violator. Haha. Wow, the point is that every action that you took is the reason why things happen the way they did. It wasn't bad luck that got you. It was your very own actions. You say, "Great! Just my luck!" No! Nooo! No! It wasn't bad luck, ok?! You did that to yourself!

It's easy to blame others (including inanimate objects) for your mistake just to relieve yourself from taking any responsibility. I have to admit that I do the same. I'll try and play it out so it's not my fault or only partially my fault. Yup. We make mistakes because we're imperfect and we pin the blame on others because we're humans. That's just the way life goes.

Everything has a reason. On the love note, the reason for living is to spend time with Ris and to make her enjoy life. The reason why I'm so happy is because of her. The reason why I'm head over heels every time I see her is because of her actions. The reason why I'm missing her as of right now is because she's mine. We met for a reason too. We met so we can be together. And now that we're together, I don't want to let go anymore. I just want to hold on to her. I want to be with her even after men begins to enjoy life on Mars. Maybe then, humans can finally become beautiful as the relationship I have with Ris is.

(Note to Ris: Haha. Good job at getting over that "incident"! Haha, even if it looks ugly, you can always paint it and make it look beautiful. In fact, since it's yours, it is beautiful. It's not your fault, it's just "bad" luck! Hahaha. =])
