Musing On
Luck
Were it by
chance, accidentally, or fate, one is lucky?
“I’m lucky to
be born a man, aren’t you lucky born a woman?” said a lover.
“What, were
you fated to be a chicken for chicken soup?”
“I’m lucky to
be born in this age and blessed with the computer, internet, digital camera.”
“What, were
you sent to a war on compulsory military duty?”
“I’m lucky to
have parents who provided for my education.”
“By chance or
were it accidentally that I heard beautiful music of Bach, Debussy, ... and now
love music?”
“By chance I
read Dr. Cooper on Aerobics, Dr. Bates
on Better Eyesight and today have I still a fairly good health and still a good
sight without glasses.”
“Can you
choose to be born beautiful, intelligent? Born a prince, in Russia, in the
past, the future, an Indonesian, to be born or not to be born, choose your
gender, your parents, ...?”
“I’ve survived
many dangerous times: of revolution, of unrest, of illness, I’m lucky to be
still alive” said opa Johan ”and all the good, what I achieved in my life
started not according to my will but only afterwards it became my will due to
luck, or was it accidentally, or by chance to be acquainted with the many things
I now very like, love? How lucky I am.”
