life...

[dryst]

u think life is all luck?....or do u think u get what make for yourself?

[birdgirl73]

I don't think life is all luck by any means. Luck is very random and chancy. Most of the time, we create our own luck, our own good fortune with the choices we make. So we get what we make for ourselves. At least that's been true for me.

I do think luck can sometimes happen. Like lottery wins, for instance, or amazing recoveries from illnesses against the odds. But in most areas, including most other financial and medical circumstances, I think we create our own accomplishments through the choices we make.

[dryst]

i think lucks everything...

every breathe u take is by luck...u could walk out of ur house and be hit by a crashing plane...luckily u dont

unless of course ur religious...then u belive in everythings preordained...and free will is actually a cover up for slavery...

[birdgirl73]

But being hit by a crashing plane or run over by a truck--and hence losing your ability to draw those lucky breaths--is one of those very random, remote, chancy things like winning the lottery or recovering miraculously. Bad luck can sometimes happen, too, just like good. Fortunately, the majority of the time the bad luck doesn't occur. Just like unfortunately, the majority of the time the super good stuff doesn't happen, either. Such is life. The majority of the rest of the time, we're making our own luck.

[dryst]

so ur saying luck does rule our lives...

[birdgirl73]

No, I'm saying we rule our lives. And that luck--good and bad alike--factors in only in relatively rare instances.

[Ammie]

Well, mama always told me life is like a box of chocolates :D:D






but on a serious note. I really think life is made up of the choices that u make. and u will almost always look back and wonder what would have happened if u chose to do one thing differently that could have gave you a totally different life then the one u led. Im sure if you look back theres lots of time you oculd have chose to do something differently and it would have made a life changing differece.











wait, what was the question again:confused:

[dryst]

u dont belive in fate?

[FeastonThisSHITT]

I believe in a combination of the two. You control your decisions, your decisions control your sitiations, but if lady luck wants something to happen, you lose all control.

I believe that the whole universe is being controlled by a force called nature. I believe that luck is simply the circumstances that surprise us when we don't understand where the flow of time will take us.

Bah... it's too hard to describe it... I'm not right in the head anyway, but if you are catching on to what I'm saying it would make perfect sense.

[dryst]

i understand, its all about balance...

if luck really does exist then that falsifies karma...

[birdgirl73]

I'd say I'm skeptical of the idea of fate or predestination--the idea that something is meant to be and intended that way from the beginning.

Feast, I think what you're saying up above is very much like what I was saying. Most of the time, we control our own "luck," but then on rare occasions, it controls us.

[birdgirl73]

Karma's definitely more in keeping with the we-make-our-own-good-luck line of thinking.

totally agree, I feel it all depends on the choices u made on how ur life will end up.

[dryst]

how is karma even a concept of reality if it can randomly interupted by luck...

[crudemood]

im saying that when karmma is fully balanced. like for all the stuff you've done, it has already come back to you. so now your in a state of equilibrium where luck is a draw of a straw and something happens to you all over again and then thats where karma comes into play
so i do actually believe in a combination bit of karma, luck and fate all mixed up into one.

[dryst]

karma had to start somewhere right?

[The Figment]

You are in control of your destiny,tho destiny sometimes has other ideas!:D

[crudemood]

karma did start somewhere, at one person and continues to the last person.
somewhere inbetween luck and fate come in?

[FeastonThisSHITT]

Did you ever ponder the idea that everything is completely controlled by fate, and that every choice you make was pre-determined, you just didn't know it was, so you can't try to change or trick it?

So like every single movement you make right down to clipping your toenails was already pre-determined.... you still have a choice.... but whatever choice you make was already decided, and you just made it.

[dryst]

so luck can alter karma?

sounds to much like religion...

[FeastonThisSHITT]

sounds to much like religion...

Yeah I can see how you would think that.


It's just that sommetimes I will dream about things from the future, but won't know they are gunna happen until they do.

Like I had a dream about my mom's car breaking down on a certain highway because of a certain reason, and had a conversation with her. In real life it came true 30 days later, to the tee, no diferences. I finished her sentances in the phone call and she tripped out.

u think life is all luck?....or do u think u get what make for yourself?

i don't believe that life is luck but that a small part of those living are blessed, after that it's what you make of it, with random blessings thrown in here and there to even out the disasters life can throw at you

[crudemood]

so luck can alter karma?

well im saying luck can influence the next karma. on that one person whose karma has been balanced and its waiting for the next thing.

[dryst]

so....lets say i kill someone for something they did...is that karma on their part or will karma continue and im next in line?

[FeastonThisSHITT]

Killing breeds more killing.


Violence breeds more violence.

someone close to that person could kill you

its not karma, its called a cause/effect relationship. It can be boiled down to an exact science. One sequence of events sets off another. Human emotions get involved, end of story,

[dryst]

human emotion is involved...so ur saying i should hire a hit man?

[FeastonThisSHITT]

human emotion is involved...so ur saying i should hire a hit man?

Where did you get that idea?

I was responding to your question about karma.

I was saying it wasn't karma.

[dryst]

lol...i know but...if i hire him...then it cant be traced back to me...

[dryst]

:p im just kidding...i guess it was kind of a good thing this happened...it was a reality check for me...time to get outta the game and get a real job...but if ai see that fuckers car im walking right up and start breakin shit...

[FeastonThisSHITT]

Hiring hitmen is sketchy, lotsa of them are narcs or cops.

[dryst]

lol i know a couple...that are real...

broken bones = $450
death = $2400-$2600

[FeastonThisSHITT]

Even still, if they get caught, they will rat you out for less punishment.

[dryst]

nah he does his time and then when he gets out he gets back on the hustle...wierd...thats how he is though, one of those real cold gangster guys.
ive done business with him a few times...and my uncle is friends with him, they used to push for the same guy...this guys got his own coke car tel...hes all about makin money...

[FeastonThisSHITT]

He couldn't have been caught with many assassinations then... you can only live for so long before you grow old and become weak.

If im not mistaken murder can get you death penalty in parts of the states?

if not 20 years at least

you dont go to jail for 20 years then come back to business on a regular bases unless your a vampire and can live thousands of years

[dryst]

nah hes never been arrested for killing someone, hes descrete about that...but he has a great lawyer which gets him off on petty drug crimes...his supplier, which was also my uncles just got sentenced for 28 years as a career criminal...
5 kilos of coke $250,000 in cash and an unregistered gun...when he got popped this guy took his place and got his connect

[Cheery Cherry]

I wish I was lucky! I do believe that things happen for a reason and at times, some things appear to be pure luck.

[FAllout]

u think life is all luck?....or do u think u get what make for yourself?

Depends on hoe you look at it...

I also know that how I look at life it fucking rules!
