He was really upset about one thing, and this made his life miserable. He was losing everything he owned, anyways -- he just didn't expect to start to lose, literally, everything else that was important to him. But when he sat down, he realized, when he was successful and had money and things, he was fat, bored, and stalled. Status and things never made him happy, no matter how hard he worked for them. When he was successful, he had no friends. When things were on track, he never did anything for himself. When life was what it should be, he sacrificed his life for the mundane enjoyment of others.
Now that he his truly losing nearly everything he loves, he has an odd sense of freedom. His teacher told him that whenever anything breaks, or if anything spills, this is a sign of tremendous good fortune. He sees that his whole life is in the process of breaking, and so he might be the luckiest son-of-a-bitch in the whole world. Imagine that.

Very good CME. You should get on Facebook, it's a good way to stay in touch with many different people. Think about it.
I'm on facebook, sweetie -- look for CM Spaghettii.
Hmm. I don't know if "lucky" is the word I would choose. I think I would choose "wisdom" instead, but that's prefaced on a person being able to understand the opportunity provided.
If the opportunity was not understood or misconstrued, then I think the words "agony", "misery" and "self-loathing" would be appropriate. :)
i get your point
