JUST MOVING ON-12

Does luck exist?And even if it does can our rational mind let it to be the reason behind our success and failure?Last night we had a little discussion about luck.I am of the view that luck doesn't exist at all and all results depend on our actions and actions alone.In short luck is nothing but  a little mental fabrication.The opposite view was that even if we assume karma to be the reason behind success and failure,there is still an element of doubt when thinking of results and that doubt is eliminated by introducing the variable of luck. Our way of thinking,beliefs and our general behavior is heavily influenced in the type of environment we live in.By environment I mean religious environment.It is pretty natural for a common human to believe what his ancestors believed because even today with all the advancement in civilization,instruction is considered the best way to impart knowledge from generation to generation and until we come up with something better we have to bear it.A

It feels like a burden is off
