🎲 When Luck Was Randomly Redistributed

An Absurdist Tale of Fortunes Reversed, Unlikely Winners, and What Happens When Luck Is No Longer Earned

By Ahmet Kıvanç DemirkıranPublished 10 months ago 2 min read
"Some caught coins from the sky. Others stood in rain. When luck spun wild, only the brave stood still."

📌 Introduction: What If Luck Was a System—and It Crashed?

One Monday morning, a global alert appeared on every screen:

“System Error: Luck has been redistributed. Please check your new status.”

And just like that… everything changed.

The unlucky found four-leaf clovers under their shoes.

The fortunate stubbed their toes, lost their wallets, and missed every bus.

Gamblers won nothing.

Introverts went viral.

The universe, once chaotic, now followed a strange new balance.

1️⃣ How It All Went Down

At first, people laughed.

“I just found $100 in my cereal box!”

“My grandma got cast in a Hollywood movie!”

“A pigeon flew in and paid my rent.”

But others panicked:

CEOs got demoted to interns.

Olympic athletes tripped on their own shoelaces.

A woman got struck by lightning three times… in one day.

News headlines read:

"World’s Unluckiest Man Becomes Billionaire Overnight."

Luck was now… randomized.

2️⃣ Chaos or Karma?

New social classes formed:

“The Newly Lucky” began selling e-books titled “How I Manifested the Algorithm.”

“The Suddenly Cursed” opened support groups: “Formerly Fortunate Anonymous.”

People worshipped dice, prayed to coin flips, and consulted slot machines for relationship advice.

Superstition became the new science.

3️⃣ What Luck Reveals About Us

With no predictable reward system, people began to ask:

“Who am I without luck?”

“Was it ever me—or just good timing?”

“Would I treat others the same if my fortune reversed?”

A philosopher tweeted:

“Maybe the point of luck isn’t to win—but to learn who you are when you lose.”

4️⃣ The Reset Vote

One year later, the world was given a choice:

“Do you want to keep randomized luck—or go back to the old system (unfair as it was)?”

After much debate, the vote was cast.

51% said:

“Let randomness remain.”

Because in the chaos, people had found something new:

✔ Gratitude.

✔ Perspective.

✔ Compassion.

📌 Final Thoughts: Maybe We Don’t Deserve Luck—But We Can Deserve What We Do With It

✔ You can’t control luck.

✔ But you can control who you become because of it.

✔ And sometimes, misfortune makes better people than privilege ever could.

💡 Final Thought:

🎲 When luck is out of your hands, character is all you’ve got.
