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.
