"chance (chns)
n. 1. a. The unknown and unpredictable element in happenings that seems to have no assignable cause. b. A force assumed to cause events that cannot be foreseen or controlled; luck: Chance will determine the outcome. 2. The likelihood of something happening; possibility or probability. Often used in the plural: Chances are good that you will win. Is there any chance of rain? 3. An accidental or unpredictable event. 4. A favorable set of circumstances; an opportunity: a chance to escape. 5. A risk or hazard; a gamble: took a chance that the ice would hold me. 6. Games A raffle or lottery ticket. 7. Baseball An opportunity to make a putout or an assist that counts as an error if unsuccessful. adj. Caused by or ascribable to chance; unexpected, random, or casual: a chance encounter; a chance result. v. chanced, chanc·ing, chanc·es v.intr. To come about by chance; occur: It chanced that the train was late that day. v.tr. To take the risk or hazard of: not willing to chance it. Phrasal Verb: chance on/upon To find or meet accidentally; happen upon: While in Paris we chanced on two old friends. Idioms: by chance 1. Without plan; accidentally: They met by chance on a plane. 2. Possibly; perchance: Is he, by chance, her brother? on the off chance In the slight hope or possibility." http://www.thefreedictionary.com I've had a very lucky life, I'm the first to admit, but I don't know about taking my chances with chance - I'd rather make an informed decision than chance a throw of the dice in just about every field of endeavour. Chance has never appealed to me - Chance has always seemed a foolish way to go. Chance has always seemed the dumbest choice. Chance has always led to trouble and chance is just plain dumb - ignorant even. No - I won't be taking chance - I'll stick to using the grey matter. |

Great post destiny. I'll have to agree, believing in Chance is a stupid thing to do. Chance is probably always the dumbest choice!
