I think that everything we do in life is because we were lucky/unluky to do it in the first place. this is because everything you do is a direct result of what others do to you, and you do not have control of what others do to you, or what others do to people that do something to you, therefore, people should not take merit of anything they do.
for example: my father shouldnt take merit of the fact he owns a house.
my proffesors shouldnt be proud of the fact they have a PHd
you should not take merit of anything that you do, since you did it because you were lucky.
so, you might say with respect to example two "well maybe he had a little bit of luck, but he also put a lot of effort towards getting his PHd"
well, no, because that happened as a direct result of a lot of different events that were beyond his control. therefore any achivements can be expressed as the sum of a lot of different and very small lucky/unlucky events.
just like 2*3 can be written as : (1+1) + (1+1) + (1+1)
or 4^3 (four to the power of 3)= (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1)
any even is the result of very small lucky/unlucky events that were beyond your control.
any perspectives on this?
