CHANCE.

There tends to be a rhythm that runs through life, on a changing undercurrent of existence.
A way things happen, a kind of order, fate’s counter force to existentialism.
Set in the present, relatively constant state, that is everyday life.
Surely even chaos has unorganised order.
A chance for things to happen in one or more ways of the same form or feeling.
When every day life is unbalanced negatively, the rhythm bears a sequence of negativity, or bad luck.
Sometimes this dips a beat once and goes back to a normal balance.
Other times you will have a run of things, ‘going wrong’.
Likewise, if your luck’s in, your luck’s in!
A positive swing, and a singular or a chain of positives occurs, which gives us good luck.
In life you will always ‘seem’ to lose more, than win, especially when left to chance.
Maybe bad luck lingers around people’s souls longer and hurts more – demanding a reward.
Where as good luck flashes by and doesn't stick to your soul for long – asking for little in return.
So then, through life we have an equal amount of good and bad luck?
No! Try telling that to the person with one leg dying of cancer.
Perhaps that’s why being a good person takes more strength and will power, than being a bad one,
As badness hangs around and doesn't evaporate into the ether as easily, and is more contagious.
Disturbing the balance more frequently, making people cynical and less likely to feel or do good.
Goodness on the other hand has to be sort after and earned.
Manufactured and sold freely at all costs by ourselves, because at times it can be as rare as unicorns’ blood.
The point of this writing now transpires.
Don’t leave goodness to chance, be willing and able to create some of your own.
For yours, goodness’ and everybody else’s sake.
