Luck- group 3

During our brief discussion of Luck, a few quotes were brought up about happiness and the pursuit of such emotion. We quoted Bok by asking "what does it take to acquire happiness?" Does happiness for one equal deceit or another? Is someone else more or less deserving of happiness than I? We referenced our first class example of the bitterly and the net, that we are so busy trying to attain happiness that we end up destroying it in the process. Another concept we liked was the idea that we become who we are by how we respond to the shifting circumstances against which our lives delineate themselves (p2). Like Bok's mother, we can choose to alter the situation given to us by making our own choices.
