Pretty fucking great

Pretty fucking great

What if everyone hates them because of their luck?

Maybe they feel worthless because they feel like they haven't really earned the life they have.

They're lucky enough not to be affected by that.

They certainly do not. If they did, they would not be the luckiest person on the planet.

yeah, everything is good and feels good to the luckiest person on the planet, otherwise they wouldn't be the luckiest person on the planet

[JuanHamm]

I don't know if I agree with that. The luckiest person on earth wouldn't necessarily have 100% good luck. They just need to be luckier than the second luckiest person.

good point

[JuanHamm]

Feeling shitty about being lucky could be the only thing in their life they aren't lucky about.

Feeling shitty about being lucky could be the only thing in their life they aren't lucky about.

Then they aren't THE luckiest person.

Also something to consider: How do you quantify luck? Like, averting a 99.9% chance of death situation multiple times could count as more luck than say, winning lots of money and never struggling your entire life. Some would say never struggling is not a life worth living at all. Maybe the luckiest person is the one who simply has the most frequent, strongest feelings of reward, worth, well-being and happiness in their lifetime, despite how they appear to the rest of the world. That person could possibly be in a prison cell their whole life, or a drunken homeless person. Just luck of brain chemistry
