I really enjoyed reading your blog post on the subject relating to "moral luck." I agree with everything you're saying. All circumstances in which we are put are due to chance, and we cannot owe our situations to higher powers, self will, or determination.
For example, we cannot choose which family we are born into, their socioeconomic status, reputation, or social standing, but we really can change how we turn out. I believe that the family in which you grow up can influence your beliefs and personality greatly, however, by the things YOU choose to do with YOUR life, you can change your outcome.
