"We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?"
-- Jean Cocteau
Yes. The degree to which this is true is great. There are always people in the world who we believe don't deserve the credit they, whether it be a celebrity or your friend. We complain how we ourselves are better than that phony. In the end, they may've just gotten lucky and luck never lasts forever. Maybe its a lucky, game-winning shot that rolled in at the last second after a moment on the rim that makes him the hero of the game. Or maybe its someone winning the loterry or someone who is sick for an audition and never got the part when someone who was garbage did. All of these are examples of how luck is a great way to describe those people and events that we don't like and thus is a necessary word in the vocabulary of modern society.
