Could a society survive if everybody left their life to chance?

Well, it depends on your viewpoint really.
My personal viewpoint is that you can't leave things to chance - you have to get what you want, and not wait for it to just come to you, because if you do that, you'll go nowhere.
But, to be balanced, many people leave some things to chance, and sometimes it's just a case of being in the right place at the right time.
So, basically, society likes a mix of both chance, and also getting things themselves. Its just the way life goes.

Society has been surviving so far on chance, time we start a new day we take a chance that it may be our last. Chances is what life's all about, just u and me being here is a chance.

Whether we like it or not,life is 'Chance' or how do you like to call it. Every second we make decisions and we flip a coin more or less,and that can change our entire life.
Of course,we have some kind of control over it;life is given to us to live it,not to control it,so society might be ok like that;leaving to chance...not just sit and wait and abandon our responsibilities :P

you're extremely correct to aver that folk can do very proper without Christianity thankyou, and did deal with very proper beforehand the "civilising" impression of the Empires of Christendom replaced into presented crashing down upon them with fireplace and metallic and pestilence. without wishing to downplay that or excuse it in any way, i think I might want to communicate about that there have been different religions in India (pagan religions) lengthy beforehand the Indian subcontinent replaced into invaded by the Indo-eu tribes who presented the religion which later became Hinduism with them. those tribes were warlike, they worshipped a God of conflict, and they presented destruction of their wake. lamentably, how easily do the sands of time choose the flow over the bloodsoaked tracks of the effective! ____ In case it isn't sparkling what my answer to the question is ... the morals that are worth something did not come from priestly castes: they got here from those with heads on them to imagine. genuine those who theory for themselves. and they nevertheless do.

If airline pilots, surgeons and nuclear power station technicians started leaving stuff to chance I don't think society would last long.

What do you think is going on now? There's a "chance" I could die any moment... The sun could supernova... Even religion is chance: Is this one right or that one? Everything is a crapshoot.

Let's hope so. Nature works on random chance ironing itself out into something more orderly. It's how evolution works, at any rate!

That is exactly what has been going on since life began. Everything is chance.
