How do the concepts of luck and coincidence relate to one’s destiny? Are these instances of the universe working with you towards your goal or simply chance events?  What is the American Dream?

Is it acceptable to get revenge on someone who has caused you harm? If so, give examples of instances where revenge has been justified.
