People refer to luck as if it’s momos being handed out by an overly picky aunt, like you get lots but the cousin she hates gets very little.

Come on we all know that one person who shows their favoritism through food. However, the idea of luck has always perplexed me, who decides how good or bad the persons luck really is?

What are the parameters of luck?

Recently my cousin could not go to specific country to study because of her visa issues, hence she decided to go somewhere else, like her dear old sister.

However, since everything here revolves around a visa the aunties sat behind a round table discussion and went to town with how bad the 19 year old luck was. To me this bad luck did not make sense, why would a rejected visa be considered that?

Why the difference in opinion between the aunties and I? Then it hit me, it was not truly that my cousin was bitten by the bad luck bug but instead the aunties did not understand.
