Luck Egalitarianism: Changing The Perception Of Luck

The universe is like a mirror. Events that occur in life are reflections of what one puts into the universe. The word and idea of luck was invented as an excuse for abnormal events that take place in our lives. Though, everyone has their own preconceived idea of luck and how it works. Their perceptions of luck is one thing that refuses to change unless it benefits them. So, how does the idea that one has of luck affect them in their daily life? Simply that everything is mind over matter. If one believes they have “bad luck” then they will experience what they believe is such, but if they just change their perspective, their perception of the events will change, thus changing the “luck” they believe they have. If one believes that their “luck”

Which brings me to my next source of research, Robert Huseby’s article, “Can luck egalitarianism justify the fact the some are worse off than others?” To begin, an egalitarian is a person that believes all people have equality in life thus a luck egalitarian is a person that believes luck is distributed equally among all people. Although it seems Huseby’s view is opposing to my own when mentioning the meaning of luck egalitarianism, he makes good points throughout his article that support my claim. He describes how luck egalitarians seem as choice egalitarians, “Luck egalitarianism, or the species of this theory that I will refer to as choice egalitaritanism, is intuitively a compelling theory of distributive justice. While equality is the default position, inequalities are justified to the extent that they follow from choice (or option luck) rather than chance (or brute luck)” (259). This shows that instead of believing everyone has an equal distribution of luck, they believe that everyone has an equal chance to make correct decisions and luck is based on those choice decisions. The theory shown here supports my main claim and my own theory of luck. The decisions that one makes in their life affects the events that happen in their life. For example, if one sees a girl struggling to open a door because she has her hands full and the person decides to run and open the door to help the girl, they will have just put out good into the universe. That good will come right back into their life, maybe not right away, and it will have a good effect on their life. Rather, if one were to see the girl struggling and choose to ignore them or snicker at her struggling that will put bad into the universe and thus negatively affect their life. This negative and positive energy can be translated to luck that will come into their lives. The one who helped the girl may have an
