Deeper Thought #1

I woke up from the most bizarre dream this morning: I was participating in a tennis tour and was facing a 2 time world champion in my last match. The ball hit the nett and went straight up in the air.

The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to realize how great apart of life is dependent on luck.
People who believes in fate has it clear that our lives are preset and already chosen. People who believe in luck thinks it is about certain moments wiggling to their benefit.
Now what if it's the same? And what if free will is the only thing who can beat fate and the only thing that can cross fate's will is our own decisions? Try to look at it as a preset autopilot, and then plant a virus in its' system. The virus being our free will, we will keep falling back on that auto-mode as soon as we stop making our own decisions or in this case of scenario; get rid of the virus.

It crossed my mind that luck and fate eventually could pass through security check as the same thing.

It made me worry and claustrophobic but at the same time relaxed and free.
It was depressing having to consider that no matter how hard I reach for one certain goal I will never reach it depending on skills and hard work. There will always be that other factor, of luck or fate on autopilot, that no matter how certain the outcome is always has the last word. It's scary to think of how so much is out of one's control.

There are moments in a match where the ball hits the top of the nett, and for a split second the ball can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck it goes forward and you win, or maybe it doesn't and you lose.
