Aristotle's theory on luck states that luck and chance are both thing that occurs for something or with some sort of end. But that do so coincidentally. Luck occurs mostly among things that occur with decision. Luck is simply chance that occurs in people. Luck is caused by cause and effect as well many metaphysical and physical and psychological factors. Luck is best described to a coin landing on heads or tails. What if the coin lands on its side? Or in theory there are no good luck options.  Only options with good and bad luck attached. Such as rock falling in pond and causing many ripples and effects long after the rock has sank into the pond. Luck may in effect be a random or force or just how we deal with strange events happening on our daily lives. But one cannot deny the effect luck has long held over the human Psyche. And in will continue to have for century's to come. It seems to be timeless force invented by the human mind. Aristotle even sated luck occurs in people.  Therefore if luck only occurs in people and not inmate objects or animals in must have been invented by the human mind.

So in theory luck is in fact a random force influenced by many factors metaphysical and physical as well as psychological. Luck is a random sequence of event and energy and therefore it is partially impossible to predict effiecltey. Luck may have been first created as way of explain unfourant events. In effect it relative the mental stress of those that were victim of unfortunate events caused by chance and cause and effect. Such as peasant’s crops failing. In ancient this been viewed as bad luck. But with more modern solutions it might have be just a case of bad soil or a type of plant virus that would not have been known. It would have been viewed as wrath of the gods. And not just and unfortunate series of events.

Or if you look into more modern times. The luck of gambler at casinos. Most the the wining they would earn are due to statistical chance in them winning. The odds were simply in their favor. Or the dealer had an off day do too a number of cause and effect events. But this is still viwed as luck and is purely a random occurrence as random as roll of dice. Or someone missing there flight or not being home when atrophic event occurs. Most likely there many cause and effect factors even unknown to that person. Furthermore this is why luck cannot be caultclted. Because we cannot culture cause and effect events properly.
