I had both.

In almost equal measure.

Thing is I always feel my bad luck was a matter of my own character and my good luck, well that is a matter of human grace and love.

Yeh but if you hear someone say they lucked out, do you inmediately think they had some good luck? Or they had some bad luck?

That is a good question, I reckon it is both.


I once fell madly in love, married her, had a happy and great life together, good luck.

Then it all fell apart in the human serenditipity of emotion.

Bad luck.

I was in two wars and saw too many good people die, but I lived.

Good and bad luck.

Thing is we are all going to suffer and endure and be blessed by what fate brings us, and luck has nothing to do with it.

Our luck is how we see our lives, moment to moment, day by day, month by month, year by year until death, the only really fair thing in life, runs our luck out.

And then we move on until the next life.

But then I am a Buddhist.

A really s**t one.

Good luck. Like to win out.

Or like cashing out means cash is incoming, not running out. Mind you that's another example where cashing in means the same.

'Lucked out' would automatically mean an excess of one or the other, right?

See i still think this makes no sense unless they wanted bad weather all weekend.

Lucked out to me means luck not on your side
You’re s**t outta luck. Lucked out.
No luck.
