Luck

Luck = opportunity + preparation. What luck is not Is getting what you want. What luck is Is surviving what you don't want. To wish someone luck Is merely to apply The odds of probability And leaving the outcome to… Well… Luck. Author's note: It always amazes me how human beings can take the most benignly beautiful things and make them ugly. The Nazi swastika, arguably one of the most hated, reviled, and yet still revered by some, symbols the civilized world has ever known, is the traditional "gammadion", a symbol of good luck in the Orient and among some native American Indians.
