'''Luck''' is a concept in [[philosophy]], [[religion]], and [[psychology]] that involves chance or fortune. It can be positive or negative, and is often associated with events that are outside of one's control. Luck can also be a belief in an organization of fortunate and unfortunate events.

== Definition ==
Luck is a way of understanding a personal chance event. Luck has three aspects which are:
# Regarded as a [[probability]] affecting an individual or a group.
# The positive or negative aspect of events happening to a person.
# The [[interpretation]] of events in a positive, negative, or neutral fashion.

== Cultural views ==
Different cultures have various views on luck. In Western culture, luck is often seen as a random event, while in many East Asian cultures, luck can be influenced by actions and rituals.

=== Western culture ===
In Western culture, luck is a random event. It is a common belief that luck derives from specific physical objects or actions, such as a lucky [[charm]] or a specific ritual. Some people believe that luck can be influenced through spiritual or mystical practices, such as [[prayer]] or [[divination]].

=== Eastern culture ===
In many East Asian cultures, luck is not seen as purely random, but can be influenced by one's actions. For example, in Chinese culture, luck is closely tied to [[feng shui]], the arrangement of objects in one's environment to achieve harmony and balance.

== Luck in religion ==
In many religions, luck is not a matter of random chance, but is guided by a higher power. For example, in Christianity, it is believed that all events are part of God's plan.

== Luck in psychology ==
In psychology, people's perception of luck can influence their mental state and behavior. Some people may feel lucky after experiencing a series of good events, while others may feel unlucky after a series of bad events.
