We did not choose to be born, we were born unequal. Obviously, also about bad luck or luck!

This question bothers me as well, I just had to accept that luck is real. I think the world is written in some kind of mathematical code that came about out of coincidence.

It happens that there are so many coincidences that it is no longer a coincidence. Can science solve this? Is there objective evidence? Are there other invisible universes, living beings, etc. that can interfere with luck, manipulate, guide...?
Does God or the devil exist?

Hell exists, in my opinion, and it is right here, we are there! There is no evidence on whether heaven exists, what it looks like, etc.

In French, but you can use English subtitles. History of Alain Romuald de monéys d'ordières (unluckiest person in France past history).

Yes, luck (and bad luck) exists. As for why, I don't really know but my theory is that it's because of the way the world is designed. Firstly, the chances of life emerging into existence is extremely, extremely low yet it happened anyway due to DNA being able to self replicate. Pro lifers may consider this to be the luckiest thing ever but I bet that people here (me included) consider this to be the unluckiest thing ever. Secondly, if you put a bunch of organisms into a finite space with finite resources, you get competition. As in the case of all competitions, there will be winners and losers. As in the case of life, losing a competition could mean something as drastic as dying horrifically to a species higher up in the food chain.

Additionally, humans have created a bunch of arbitrary systems which has created even more luck within it. Those who are born into a rich family (an arbitrary concept made by humans) are considered lucky whereas those who are born into poverty are considered unlucky.

There's a lot of other things that determine somebody's luck in life due to all of the random shit that could happen. You could one day get your body all mangled up due to a car accident or you could get cancer or you could be born with a disability and the list of the bad things that could happen is endless.

I also somewhat believe that luck requires an element of comparison to it. If everybody was the same from birth to death with no deviations in anything, could any of them really be considered as lucky? I think that we need to be lucky or unlucky with respect to something. In my case, I'm unlucky because I was born with a flawed neurotype whilst most people have a normal neurotype. In my case, I'm suicidal and crave death just like a lot of people on here yet I'm trapped in existence and forced to stay alive until natural death whereas most people here are able to escape existence. I'm unlucky relative to those who are more lucky (or less unlucky depending on how you view it)

It's all just so cruel and terrible to me, there's so much cruelty in how existing beings suffer all for no reason and no purpose, more than anything I wish I was never forced into existence, under no circumstances would I wish for the burden of suffering in this existence where there's no limit as to how much agony one can feel.

Chance exists, but it isn't a supernatural thing. If you took three genocide survivors and three lottery winners to the casino and gave them each a chip for the roulette wheel, they'd all be equally likely to win, regardless of their past luck.

Frano Selak, from one of those videos, was probably exaggerating - there is no record of any of the accidents he claims to have been in, which is especially surprising for the plane crash.

Of course luck definitely exists, but at the same time, many people more unfortunate than me are probably a lot happier.

So I think it's interesting.

I call it the trajectory. It's a force of nature and it's near impossible to steer. We're all in the current.
