    Luck is probability. No one has more or less than others. It's random chance, and sometimes it benefits you, but sometimes it doesn't.

      I tend to agree.

    luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity

    It isn't anything. It's just a word people can use to explain what happens, good or bad. Born in a first-world country to rich, kind parents? Good luck. Born into slavery, or with birth defects? Bad luck. "Ah, you got the internship and I didn't! You're so lucky."

    I often think of myself as a lucky person. Things always mostly work out for me, seemingly regardless of how much effort I put in. My whole life could go on this way, or perhaps tomorrow it will be the opposite. There's no telling, because life has infinite possibility - luck is a way we try to understand this infinity.

    In some cases, it's how some people conceptualize forms of privilege, e.g., "born with a silver spoon". Fundamentally, it's an acknowledgement that the universe is random and unfair, that our fortunes can change at a moment's notice for no reason at all.

    In some ways, it works both with and against the just-world hypothesis.
